Ignore Track Arming Commands
You can set Pro Tools to ignore incoming track
arming (record-enable) commands. Use this to
record-safe Pro Tools if, for example, you are us-
ing a master 9-pin transport controller to arm
tracks on several other machines, but not
Pro Tools tracks. You can still manually arm
Pro Tools audio tracks, as needed.
To have Pro Tools ignore remote track arming
commands:
Choose Setup > Preferences, and click the Syn-
1
chronization tab.
In the Remote Mode section, select Ignore
