Using Remote Track Arming
The first step in using Remote Track Arming is to
configure the parameters of the Track Arming
window.
To configure Track Arming:
1 Make sure your machine is properly con-
nected and configured to slave to Pro Tools as
described in your MachineControl and
Pro Tools Guides.
2 Make sure Transport = Machine.
3 Open the Track Arming window. If the entire
window is not visible, click the zoom box.
4 Designate the number of record tracks using
the Record Tracks popup. If you are using the ge-
neric device personality, set the number of
record tracks to 8.
5 Select a Record Protocol (Auto Edit or Punch
In/Out).
6 Select a Record Mode (Insert or Assemble).
To perform a layback:
1 In Pro Tools, select the audio to layback, or
place the playback cursor at a start point.
2 In the Remote Track Arming window, arm the
appropriate tracks.
3 Select Transport > Machine in the Pro Tools
Transport window.
4 Click Record in the Transport window to arm
recording.
5 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 parameters are con-
figured, you can change the Track Arming
window to “small view” and still see the
track arm buttons.
