Its called Preview mode. Many clients want to audition a change in their automation from region to region, scene to scene, before committing to “Writing” it. The most common way of doing that pre-7.2 was to suspend your automation, find the sweet spot for your settings, then Write them to your selection and re-engage automation.

Preview mode allows you to skip the “suspend automation” step, and “dynamically suspends” only the parameters of your mix that you touch. So you can hear your changes in the context of your mix, without turning off global automation families like Inserts or volume.

There are a bunch of powerful automation features on ICON that came in with PTHD 7.2, some of which I still haven’t covered. So I’m going to revisit a few of those.
Firstly, lets have a look at the basics of using the Snapshot section on the board. This can be used powerfully with Latch Prime in Stop enabled in your prefs, and there are also modifiers when taking snapshots for different workflows. Take a look:
