Arming Tracks Remotely for
Layback
To arm tracks remotely for layback, you need to
first configure Track Arming for your machine.
To configure Track Arming:
1 Make sure your machine is properly con-
nected and configured to slave to Pro Tools.
2 Open the Track Arming window.
3 Select a Record Protocol (Auto Edit or Punch
In/Out).
4 Select a Record mode (Insert or Assemble).
To perform a layback:
1 In Pro Tools, select the audio to lay back, or
place the playback cursor at a start point.
2 In the Remote Track Arming window, arm the
appropriate tracks on the machine.
3 Select Transport = Machine in the Pro Tools
Transport window.
4 Make sure the Pro Tools Transport is online.
5 Click Record in the Transport window to arm
recording.
6 Click Play in the Transport window.
Your machine will cue to the selection start mi-
nus all relevant pre-roll, then begin to play back.
Pro Tools will then sync to the deck, and the tar-
get deck will record as determined by your set-
tings for Record Protocol and Record mode. If
you did not create an on-screen selection, deck
recording will continue until you manually stop
playback.
Once the Track Arming options are config-
ured, you can change the Track Arming
window to “small view” and still see the
track arm buttons.
