Record Enable Button
The Record Enable button puts the track
into record-ready mode. Once a track is
record-enabled, click the Record and Play
buttons in the Transport window to start
audio or MIDI recording.
When the Latch Record Enable Buttons op-
tion is selected, you can record enable
more than one track at the same time by
clicking the record enable button on each
track. If the Latch Record Enable Buttons
option is deselected, Shift-click to record
enable multiple tracks.
Record Safe Mode
Pro Tools provides a record safe mode
which allows you to disable recording ca-
pability on any track in a session. This pre-
vents you from inadvertently record-en-
abling a track and then recording over
valuable material. To toggle Record Safe
mode, Command-click (Macintosh) or
Control-Click (Windows) the Record but-
ton on the track.
