Arming Tracks for Recording
Pro Audio lets you record any number of tracks at one time. You indicate
the tracks you want to record by arming the tracks. You can arm a
single track or several tracks at one time. Each track records material
received though its own input source.
Auto Arming
You must arm tracks in order to record. To safeguard your data, there is
no automatic arming of any tracks.
If you want to record MIDI tracks without arming a track, choose
Options-Global, and select the General tab. Click the Allow MIDI
Recording without an Armed Track checkbox.
This feature lets you start recording a new track simply by making it the
current track and pressing R or clicking the Record button in the toolbar.
Auto-arming makes it possible to inadvertently record over existing
material in the current track, however. To prevent this, simply assign a
source to each track before recording. If a source is assigned to a track,
Pro Audio will not record on that track unless the track has been armed.
To Arm a Track for Recording…
• In the Track view, click .
• In the Console view, click .
• Select one or more tracks in the Track view, then right-click and
choose
Arm
from the menu.
The Track Arm buttons in the Track view and Console view are
displayed in red to indicate that the track is armed for recording.
