Audio Track RecordLock This option configures
Pro Tools tracks to either emulate a digital dub-
ber, or to maintain legacy behavior for track
record status.
• When selected, the record-enabled audio
tracks remain record-enabled when play-
back or recording stops.
• When not selected, record-enabled audio
tracks are taken out of record enable when
Pro Tools is stopped. This prevents tracks
from remaining armed from pass to pass,
emulating track record behavior of a digital
dubber.
Transport RecordLock This option lets the Trans-
port Record (the Record Enable button in the
Transport controls) be configured to either em-
ulate a digital dubber, or to maintain legacy be-
havior for the Transport master Record.
• When selected, the Transport Record re-
mains armed when playback or recording
stops. This saves having to re-arm the
Transport between takes, emulating digital
dubber behavior.
• When not selected, the Transport Record
disarms when Pro Tools is manually
stopped or stops due to a loss of time code.
This replicates standard Pro Tools record-
ing behavior.
The Transport RecordLock preference is au-
tomatically disabled and greyed out when
Destructive record mode is enabled.
Disable "Input" When Disarming Track
(In "Stop") For flexibility, TrackInput monitor-
ing can be customized to remain selected re-
gardless of track record status, or to automati-
cally switch to Auto Input monitoring after a
recording pass. This lets you optimize monitor-
ing for a typical dubbing workflow (in which
you might want tracks to remain in Input Only
mode until explicitly switched to Auto Input
monitoring) or a typical music tracking work-
flow (in which leaving a track in Input Only
monitoring mode after recording can result in
accidental double-monitoring).
• When selected, taking an audio track out of
record enable (any mode) takes it out of In-
put Only mode, regardless of the global
monitor mode, and switches it to monitor
audio from disk only.
• When not selected, audio tracks remain in
Input Only monitoring mode until explic-
itly switched to Auto Input monitoring.
Mute Record-Armed Tracks While Stopped This
setting determines monitor status of record-
armed tracks.
• When selected, Pro Tools mutes all record-
enabled tracks when the transport is
stopped. Input can still be monitored while
stopped using the TrackInput Monitor but-
ton.
• When not selected, Pro Tools does not
mute audio input on record-enabled tracks
when the transport is stopped.
