Record Enabling Tracks

To record audio or MIDI to a track you must first
enable the track's Record Enable button. To
record simultaneously to multiple tracks, record
enable multiple audio, Instrument, or MIDI
tracks.
When one or more tracks are record-enabled,
click the Record button in the Transport to arm
recording, and then click the Play button in the
Transport to start recording.
MIDI and Instrument tracks can be record-
enabled during playback or record. To
record enable audio tracks, the Transport
must be stopped, or QuickPunch, Track-
Punch, or DestructivePunch must be en-
abled. For more information on Quick-
Punch, TrackPunch, and DestructivePunch,
see "Record Modes" on page 353.
To record enable an audio, MIDI, or Instrument
track:
From either the Mix or Edit window, click the
track's Record Enable button to toggle record en-
able on or off for the track. The track's Record
Enable button flashes red, the track's fader is
solid red, and the Track Record Enabled indica-
tor in the Transport turns red (indicating at least
one track is record-enabled).
