Pro Tools Reference Guide500
Transport RecordLock
This setting lets the Transport Record be config-
ured to either emulate a digital dubber, or to main-
tain legacy behavior for the Transport master Re-
cord.
 When not enabled, the Transport Record dis-
arms when Pro Tools is manually stopped or stops
due to a loss of timecode. This replicates legacy
Pro Tools recording behavior.
 When enabled, the Transport Record remains
armed when playback or recording stops. This
saves having to re-arm the Transport between
takes, emulating digital dubber behavior.
Destructive Recording and Transport RecordLock
As a precaution against accidentally recording
over previous material, the
Transport RecordLock
option is automatically disabled and grayed out
when Destructive record mode is enabled.
Audio Track RecordLock
This setting lets Pro Tools tracks either emulate a
digital dubber, or maintain legacy behavior for
track record status.
 When the Audio Track RecordLock option is en-
abled, the record-enabled audio tracks remain
armed when playback or recording stops.
 When the Audio Track RecordLock option is not
enabled, record-enabled audio tracks are taken out
of record enable when Pro Tools is stopped. This
prevents tracks from remaining armed from pass to
pass, emulating track record behavior of a digital
dubber.
Synchronization and Track
Arming Options for Punch
Recording
(SYNC HD or SYNC I/O Only)
Synchronization settings for online punch record-
ing vary depending on the type and capabilities of
your Pro Tools system and other devices in your
studio.
The MachineControl™ option for Pro Tools HD
lets you remotely arm tracks on supported 9-pin
decks (or V-LAN for Transport only).
Punching out of record by pressing Record
on the Transport takes the transport out of re-
cord enable.
For examples of how these settings can be ap-
plied, see “Example TrackPunch and De-
structivePunch Workflows” on page 511.
For basic timecode and synchronization
information for Pro Tools, see Chapter 49,
“Working with Synchronization.”
Choose Setup > Machine Track Arming
Profiles to configure your system, and choose
Window > Machine Track Arming to display
