Selecting Record Monitor Modes with TrackInput Monitoring
(Pro Tools HD and Pro Tools with Complete Production Toolkit Only)
TrackInput monitoring lets you toggle individual audio tracks between Auto Input and Input Only monitoring modes at any time, during playback, recording, while stopped, and even when a track is not record-enabled. TrackInput monitoring provides the necessary monitoring flexibility for overdubbing and mixing, and is similar to input switching on analog multitrack recorders and similar machines.
When the TrackInput button in a track is enabled (green), the track monitors audio in Input Only mode.
When the TrackInput button in a track is disabled, the track monitors in Auto Input mode.
To toggle the monitoring mode of audio tracks, do one of the following:
|
To toggle individual tracks, click the TrackInput Monitor button for each track you want to toggle.
|
|
|
To toggle all tracks in the session, Option-click (Mac) or Alt-click (Windows) a TrackInput Monitor button.
|
|
|
To toggle all selected tracks in the session, Option-Shift-click (Mac) or Alt-Shift-click (Windows) a selected track’s TrackInput Monitor button.
|
|
To toggle the TrackInput button states of all record-enabled tracks, do one of the following:
|
|
To change all record-enabled tracks to Auto Input monitoring, select Track > Set Record Tracks to Auto Input.
|
|
|
To change all record-enabled tracks to Input Only monitoring, select Track > Set Record Tracks to Input Only.
|
|
When the Disable “Input” When Disarming Track (in “Stop”) option is enabled in the Operation Preferences, TrackInput monitoring is disabled whenever a track is taken out of record enable. This is useful for certain workflows, such as when you are recording on a series of tracks, one at a time.
Disabling this option allows TrackInput buttons to remain enabled when deselecting the track Record Enable button.
