3 In the new audio track, click its Input path selector and choose the same input (In 1) you
used before.
4 Next, click the track Record button, just like you did on the first track.
5 In the Transport window, click the Return to Zero button to jump back to the start of the ses-
sion, then click the Record button (the button flashes) to arm Pro Tools for recording. When
you are ready to start recording, click Play or press the Spacebar. You might need to adjust the
Mix knob until you hear a good balance of track and mic input.
6 Press the Spacebar again to stop playback.
Hard drives are one of the most important components of your Pro Tools system. For best per-
formance, Digidesign recommends using an external hard drive for Pro Tools
recording. Also, hard drives cannot be formatted as “FAT32” (this format does not support the
kind of performance required for audio recording and editing with Pro Tools). To learn more
about hard drives for your Pro Tools system, see the Setup Guide.
