Low Latency Monitoring and Bounce
To Disk
With Low Latency Monitoring Enabled,
only audio tracks are included with the
Bounce To Disk command—Auxiliary In-
put tracks are ignored.
To record Auxiliary Inputs with Low La-
tency Monitoring enabled, you must
record the material in real time.
Track Names
When creating new audio and MIDI tracks,
Pro Tools names them as either “Audio” or
“MIDI” and numbers them consecutively.
For instance, when you create 2 new audio
tracks, their default names are “Audio 1”
and “Audio 2.” You can rename tracks and
also log comments for each track.
To rename a track:
1 In the Edit or Mix window, double-click
the Track Name.
2 In the Track Name/Comments dialog,
type a new track name.
3 If desired, type comments for the track in
the Comments text box. Click Previous or
Next to rename another displayed track.
✽ To switch tracks in the Track Name/Com-
ments dialog, you can also press Command
(Macintosh) or Control (Windows) and use the
Up/Down Arrows.
4 When you are finished, click OK.
Default Names for Audio Files and
Regions
When recording to an audio track, the re-
sulting file and region names are based on
the name of the track. For instance, after re-
cording for the first time on a track called
“Electric Gtr,” an audio file is written to
your hard drive with the name “Electric
Gtr-01.” In addition, a region appears in
the Audio Regions List with the name
“Electric Gtr-01-00.”
Subsequent record takes on the same track
are named identically but with the first set
of digits (indicating the take number) in-
cremented. The second set of digits is only
used for region naming and indicate a re-
gion auto-created from an edit.
☞ The QuickPunch record mode uses a slightly
different method for numbering regions. For
details, see “Region and Take Numbering with
QuickPunch” on page 116.
When recording MIDI tracks, a similar
naming scheme is used, though with only
one set of digits. For instance, after record-
ing to a track called “Synth 1,” a region is
created called “Synth 1-01.” Subsequent re-
gions for that track, generating either from
additional record takes or region edits, are
numbered sequentially.
