Chapter 6: Sessions 57
Support Background Record Applications
(Pro Tools 6.0.x and Lower Only) Allows other
audio recording applications to run in the back-
ground concurrently with Pro Tools. Files re-
corded in the background can be imported into
Pro Tools, and then trimmed and viewed while
recording continues. (In Pro Tools 6.1, audio re-
cording in the background is always supported.)
Sends Default to –INF When selected, the initial
fader level of newly-created sends is set to –∞
(no audible signal level). When not selected, the
initial fader level of newly-created sends is set to
0 dB.
Audio During Fast Forward/Rewind When se-
lected, audio is audible during fast-forward or re-
wind.
Convert Imported “WAV” Files To AES31/Broad-
castWave When selected, this option applies to
all newly imported WAV files, making them
compliant with the AES31/EBU Broadcast stan-
dard. In Pro Tools 6.0 and lower, this option was
located in the Compatibility page (see “Compat-
ibility Preferences” on page 64).
Audio Track RecordLock (Pro Tools 6.4) This set-
ting lets Pro Tools tracks be configured to either
emulate a digital dubber, or to maintain legacy
behavior for track record status.
• When the Audio RecordLock preference is
enabled, the record-enabled audio tracks
remain armed when playback or recording
stops.
• When the Audio RecordLock preference 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.
Transport RecordLock (Pro Tools 6.4) This set-
ting lets the Transport Record be configured to
either emulate a digital dubber, or to maintain
legacy behavior for the Transport master
Record.
• When not enabled, the Transport Record
disarms when Pro Tools is manually
stopped or stops due to a loss of time code.
This replicates legacy Pro Tools recording
behavior.
• When enabled, the Transport Record re-
mains armed when playback or recording
stops. This saves having to re-arm the
Transport between takes, emulating digital
dubber behavior.
Limit Pull Ups to NTSC/PAL Film Standards
(Pro Tools 6.3 and below) This option, which is
selected by default, filters the list of available
Pull Up rates that appears in the Session Setup
window.
Latch Record Enable Buttons When this option
is deselected, it prevents multiple audio tracks
from being record-enabled. Record-enabling an
audio track takes any other audio track out of
record-enabled mode.
Latch Solo Buttons When this option is dese-
lected, it prevents multiple tracks from being so-
loed. Soloing a track will un-solo any other track
that is soloed.
Link Mix and Edit Group Enables When this op-
tion is selected, it links enabling and disabling
of Mix and Edit groups. For example, enabling
Group A in the Edit Window automatically en-
ables Group A in the Mix window.
The Transport RecordLock preference is au-
tomatically disabled and greyed out when
Destructive record mode is enabled.
