Playback and Recording : Audio Recording : Before Recording : Recording Multiple Audio Tracks

Recording Multiple Audio Tracks
Pro Tools can record multiple audio tracks simultaneously, up to the track recording limits of your system. To record to multiple tracks, configure and record enable each track, then record. Follow the same steps as in Basic Recording Steps.
For each record-enabled track, a new audio file is written to disk, and a new clip is created that appears both in the track’s playlist and in the Clip List.

If you have a Pro Tools system with multiple drives, and you intend to record multiple tracks simultaneously, you may want to designate the System drive as a Transfer only drive for optimal performance.
