Use F11 Key for Wait for Note When this option
is selected, pressing the F11 Function key puts
MIDI recording in Wait for Note mode.
Automatically Copy Files on Import When this
option is selected, Pro Tools copies all imported
audio files to the current session’s Audio Files
folder, regardless of whether they need to be
converted to the current session’s file type, bit
depth or sample rate.
Disable “Input” When Disarming Track
(In “Stop”)
(Pro Tools 6.4)
For flexibility, TrackInput can be customized to
remain selected regardless of track record status,
or to automatically switch to Auto Input moni-
toring after a recording pass. This lets you opti-
mize monitoring for a typical dubbing workflow
(in which you might want tracks to remain in
Input Only mode until explicitly switched to
Auto Input monitoring) or a typical music track-
ing workflow (in which leaving a track in Input
Only monitoring mode after recording can re-
sult in accidental double-monitoring).
• When enabled, taking an audio track out of
record enable (any mode) takes it out of In-
put Only mode, regardless of the global
monitor mode, and switches it to monitor
audio from disk only.
• When not enabled, audio tracks will re-
main in Input Only monitoring mode until
explicitly switched to Auto Input monitor-
ing.
“Stop” Mutes Audio Inputs (When In Auto Input)
(Pro Tools 6.4)
• When enabled, Pro Tools mutes tracks that
are record-enabled when the Transport is
stopped. Input can still be monitored while
stopped using the TrackInput button.
• When not enabled, Pro Tools monitors au-
dio input on tracks that are record-enabled.
