Recording
Further configuration options for MIDI and audio clicks are
available in the Click Outputs section:
Lock and Unlock Record
During recording it can happen that you accidentally de-
activate the record mode, e. g. by pressing [Space]. In or-
der to prevent this, you can set up a key command for this
in the Key Commands dialog. If you use the Lock Record
key command, the Record button will turn gray and the re
-
cord mode is locked until you use the Unlock Record key
command or enter Stop mode.
• If Lock Record is activated and you want to enter Stop
mode (by clicking Stop or pressing [Space]), you will see
a dialog in which you need to confirm that you want to
stop recording. You can also use the Unlock Record key
command first and then enter Stop mode as usual.
• By default, no key commands are assigned to these
functions. In the Key Commands dialog, you will find the
corresponding key command entries in the Transport cat
-
egory (see the chapter “Key commands” on page 541 for
more information on how to set up key commands).
Ö These key commands are especially useful when com-
bined with other commands (e. g. with Record/Stop) using
the macro functions. That way you will receive powerful
macros that can greatly enhance your workflow.
Ö Note that an automatic punch-out at the right locator
position that you may have set on the transport panel, will
be ignored in Lock Record mode.
Record Time Max display
The Record Time Max display lets you see how much time
you have left for recording. The available time depends on
the current setup, for example, on the amount of tracks
that are record-enabled, your project setup (e.
g. the sam-
ple rate), and the amount of hard disk space available.
You can show and hide the display using the “Record
Time Max” option on the Devices menu.
Ö The remaining record time is also shown in the status
line above the track list.
