Record Arming Mode When the Rec Arm switch
is enabled (flashing), the Channel Select switch
for a track enables or disables its Record Enable
button, plus acts as a record-enabled indicator.
When a track is record-enabled, its Channel Se-
lect switch flashes when the Transport is
stopped. When Pro Tools is recording, the
switch is lit continuously.
Tracks that are armed for recording will remain
armed after Rec Arming mode is disabled.
See "Rec Arm (Record Arm) Switch" on
page 43 for details on record-enabling
tracks.
Automation Mode The Automation Mode
switches (Write, Touch, Latch, Read, and Off) let
you use the Channel Select switches to set the
track's Automation mode.
See "Automation Section" on page 52 for
more information.
Memory Location Mode In this mode (Memory
Location switch lit), Channel Select switches re-
call the Memory Location that corresponds to
their channel number. Additionally, the Mem-
ory Location window can be opened.
See "Working With Memory Locations" on
page 108 for more information.

Rotary Encoders
Each Channel has a rotary encoder. These knobs
control a variety of parameters, depending on
the view:
Console View The rotary encoders control pan,
send level, or insert settings, depending on
which Console View is enabled (Pan, Send, or
Insert).
Channel View The rotary encoders control
plug-in, pan/send, or insert settings, depending
on which Channel View is enabled (EQ, Dynam-
ics, Insert, or Pan/Send).
Rotary Encoder LEDs
Each rotary encoder has a ring of 11 LEDs for in-
dicating data values controlled by the encoder.
The style of display depends on the type of data.
For example, discrete or stepped information
such as pan position or frequency value is
shown by a single LED, while an expanding se-
ries of LEDs shows values such as send levels,
gain, or filter bandwidth. When you rotate the
encoder, its LEDs update.
In Pan View, the Meter switch sets what the
LEDs display (left pan, right pan, or no function
in Automation mode).
Channel Meter LEDs
Each channel includes a five-segment LED
meter, scaled at 0, –3, –6, –12, and –42 dBFS for
track level. The meters are also labeled to indi-
cate the track's current Automation mode: Wrt
(Write), Tch (Touch), Lch (Latch), or Rd (Read).
When the Meter switch is set to Left or Right,
these meters display track level. When the Meter
switch is set to Auto (Automation), the meter in-
dicator corresponding to the track's current Au-
tomation mode is lit.
