Chapter 3: Remote Mode 15
Recording in 9-Pin Remote Mode
MachineControl lets Pro Tools support Auto
Edit (selection-based) and Punch-in/Punch-Out
(QuickPunch) commands.
Pro Tools must have QuickPunch enabled when
recording in Remote mode with an edit control-
ler.
Auto Edit Recording
When a machine sends Auto Edit commands to
Pro Tools in 9-Pin Remote Mode, the edit in and
out points are converted to a Pro Tools Timeline
selection. This selection, with offsets options,
will then be used to record on all armed tracks
when Pro Tools receives the Perform Auto Edit
Record command.
Punch In/Out Recording
Punch-In/Punch-Out Recording supports
punch-on-the-fly, with Pro Tools in QuickPunch
mode. In this mode, tracks are armed before the
record pass, and recording begins and ends
when Punch-In and Punch-Out commands are
received form the master machine.
QuickPunch must be enabled and the required
voices must be available in Pro Tools for Punch-
In/Punch-Out recording commands to work.
This mode must be set manually in Pro Tools.
Track Arming and 9-Pin Remote Mode
In 9-Pin Remote mode, Pro Tools responds to
track arming (record-enable) commands for the
first eight Pro Tools audio tracks that are not
hidden in a session (video and MIDI tracks are
not recognized, and will be ignored if any exist
within the first eight tracks). Additional tracks
can be record enabled manually in Pro Tools.
Ignore Track Arming Commands
You can set Pro Tools to ignore incoming track
arming (record-enable) commands. Use this to
record safe Pro Tools if, for example, you are us-
ing a master 9-pin transport controller to arm
tracks on several other machines, but not tracks
in Pro Tools. You can still manually arm Pro
Tools audio tracks, as needed, using the track
Record Enable buttons.
To have Pro Tools ignore remote track arming
commands:
1 Choose Setups > Peripherals, and select the
MachineControl window.
2 Select Ignore Track Arming.
Preview Edit and Record Rehearse modes
are not supported by Pro Tools.
