indicates that at least one audio track is cur-
rently set to Input Only monitoring (regardless

Pre-Roll During playback or record, specifies the
amount that plays before the play (timeline)
Cursor location or beginning of the Timeline se-
lection. Pre-roll is particularly useful with punch
recording since it provides you with time to
"catch the beat" before reaching the punch-in
point. To set the pre-roll amount, enter a new
value in this field, or drag the Pre-Roll flag in the
Main Timebase ruler.
To enable pre-roll:
Click the Pre-Roll button to the left of the pre-
■
roll field so it becomes highlighted.
