Appending New Material to the End of a

a track. To do this, locate to the end of the track
with the Go to End button in the Transport win-
dow (this will locate the end of the session), or
tab to the end point of the last region on the
track. From there, begin recording and Pro Tools
will add the new material to the end of the track.
If using Destructive Record mode, the new au-
dio is appended to the audio file and region
from the first take. In Nondestructive Record
mode, a new file and region are created.
