To record enable multiple MIDI and Instrument
tracks:
 From either the Mix or Edit window, Shift-click
each MIDI or Instrument track’s Record Enable
button to toggle record enable on or off for each
track.
To record enable MIDI and Instrument tracks using
the Up/Down Arrows:
 While pressing Command (Mac) or Control
(Windows), press the Up/Down Arrows to re-
cord enable the previous or next MIDI or Instru-
ment track. The previous (or next) record track
is no longer record-enabled.

Instrument tracks:

Record Enable button to toggle record enable
on or off for all audio tracks, or all Instrument

For record-enable, Pro Tools treats MIDI and In-
strument tracks as the same type. Consequently,
Option-clicking (Mac) or Alt-clicking (Windows)
the Record Enable button on any MIDI or Instru-
ment track will record enable all MIDI and Instru-
ment tracks in the session.

selected MIDI and Instrument tracks:

Latch Record Enable Buttons
Preference
When the Latch Record Enable Buttons option is
selected in the Operation Preferences, you can re-
cord enable additional audio tracks by clicking
their Record Enable buttons. Previously record-en-
abled tracks remain enabled. The
Latch
Record Enable Buttons
option affects audio tracks
only.
When the
Latch Record Enable Buttons option is
deselected, record enabling a subsequent audio
track disables the previously record-enabled audio
track.
To enable the Latch Record Enable Buttons
preference:
1 Choose Setup > Preferences and click the
Operation tab.
2 Select Latch Record Enable Buttons.
To keep the previous track record-enabled
while enabling new tracks, press
Command+Shift+Up/Down (Mac) or
Control+Shift+Up/Down (Windows).
Record enabling a track that is part of a Mix
Group does not record enable the other
tracks in the Group. To record enable all
tracks in a group, click directly to the left of
the group’s name in the Group List to select
all tracks in the group, and then Option-Shift-
click (Mac) or Alt-Shift-click (Windows) the
Record Enable button of one of the tracks to
record enable the selected tracks.
