Input Only Monitoring
In Input Only mode, when a track is record-en-
abled, Pro Tools monitors audio input only, re-
gardless of any punch-in/out selection or state.
For Pro Tools LE, the Input Monitor Enabled Sta-
tus indicator (in the Transport window) lights
green when Input Only mode is enabled.
For Pro Tools HD, the indicator lights green
when one or more tracks have TrackInput en-
abled (see “Selecting Record Monitor Modes
with TrackInput Monitoring” on page 364).

Selecting Record Monitor Modes
with TrackInput Monitoring
(Pro Tools HD 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 en-
abled (green), the track monitors audio in Input
Only mode.
When the TrackInput button in a track is dis-
abled, 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 TrackIn-
put Monitor button for each track you want to
toggle.
„ To toggle all tracks in the session, Alt-click
(Windows) or Option-click (Mac) a TrackInput
Monitor button.

To toggle between Auto Input and Input
Only monitoring, press Alt+K (Windows)
