Arming Pro Tools For Recording - DigiDesign Control 24 Reference Manual

Arming Pro Tools for
Recording
With channels in Record-Ready mode and their
inputs assigned, you are ready to arm Pro Tools
for recording.
REC ARM and MASTER REC
Buttons
The REC ARM buttons are located directly below
the MIC/LINE AMPS and LINE SUBMIXER sec-
tions near the top of each channel strip. These
buttons arm disk track channel strips for record-
ing.
The channel REC ARM button LED will flash
when a channel is in Record-Ready mode and
lights solid when Pro Tools enters record (record
mode).
Record-Enabling Tracks
To toggle a track into or out of Record-Ready mode
from the fader section:
Press the REC ARM button on the tracks to
which you would like to record.
Flashing LEDs on the MASTER REC button and
the selected channel REC ARM buttons indicate
Record-Ready mode.
The MASTER REC button will flash whenever
any channels are in Record-Ready mode. This
can be particularly useful when tracks that are
not displayed within the current bank are armed
for recording.

alog will appear warning you if a track or
