6 Click the Record Enable button for the audio track. It lights red. (You can also enable Input Monitoring, and record enable later.)
7 Begin performing to check levels.
• Adjust MBOX Studio gain and other settings for Audio Input as appropriate for your source(s).
• Monitor the track’s meter levels in Pro Tools. Signals should meter green most of the time, only light yellow for the loudest pas-
sages, and never light red (clipped).
8 In Pro Tools, adjust track volume and pan. These settings are for monitoring purposes only and do not affect the recorded material.
9 If you are performing to any pre-recorded material but it or your input signal sounds late or delayed (known as “latency”) choose Op-
tions > Low Latency Monitoring
.
Any plug-ins and sends on record-enabled tracks are automatically bypassed.
10 Click Record in the Transport window to arm Pro Tools for recording. The Record button flashes red.
11 When you are ready to start recording, make sure the track is record enabled, click Play or press the Spacebar, and record your per-
formance.
12 Click Stop in the Transport window or press the Spacebar when you are finished recording.
To play back the audio track:
1 Click the Record Enable button for the audio track so that it is no longer record-enabled. Track volume faders now function as play-
back level controls.
2 To have playback start from the beginning of the session, click Return to Zero in the Transport.
3 To start playback, click Play in the Transport or press the Spacebar.
4 Use the MBOX Studio right encoder to adjust overall listening volume (for more information, see Main and Alt Monitor).

Stop, Play, and Record buttons
If a record-enabled track is in Auto Input Monitor mode, you will hear “through” the input while the Transport is stopped. The track
automatically switches to playback when you press play, then back to Input mode when you either stop, or punch into record. For more
information about Auto Input Monitor mode, see Help > Pro Tools Help.
