cording at any time by pressing STOP (or by

Record Safe Mode

Pro Tools provides a Record Safe mode to keep a
track in a session from being record-enabled.
This is a way to avoid inadvertently recording
over a track, particularly in large sessions where
some tracks may be outside of the currently vis-
ible bank.
Record Safe mode also expands the uses for the
MASTER REC switch. If you protect selected
tracks with Record Safe mode, then MASTER
RECORD becomes a one-touch way to record
enable the remaining tracks.
To enable record safe status on a channel strip:
Press REC SAFE.
