(Pro Tools HD and Pro Tools with Complete
Production Toolkit Only)
Set Record Tracks to Input Only
This command changes all record enabled tracks
to monitor audio input only, regardless of any
punch in or out selection.
Set Record Tracks to Auto Input
This command changes all record enabled tracks
to automatically switch from monitoring input
signals to monitoring recorded tracks. When
set, record enabled tracks monitor audio input
when the transport is stopped. When playback is
started for a punch-in, Pro Tools monitors ex-
isting track material up until the punch point.
While punched in, the input signal is monitored.
On punch-out, monitoring switches back to the
existing track material. This is similar to the
auto-switching logic found on digital and analog
multitrack tape machines.
Auto Input Monitoring or
Input Only Monitoring
(Pro Tools Only)
Auto Input Monitoring
In this mode, when session playback is stopped,
Pro Tools monitors audio input. When playback
is started for a punch-in, Pro Tools monitors ex-
isting track material up until the punch point.
While punched in, the input signal is moni-
tored. On punch-out, monitoring switches back
to the existing track material. This is similar to
the auto-switching logic found on digital and
analog multitrack tape machines.
Input Only Monitoring
In this mode, when a track is record-enabled,
Pro Tools monitors audio input only,
Scroll To Track
This command lets you scroll directly to any
track by position number. The Edit window
tracks will scroll to bring the selected track to as
close to the top as possible, and the Mix window
tracks will scroll to bring the selected track as
close to the left as possible.
