Audio Track RecordLock
This option lets you configure Pro Tools track
arming in the following ways:
◆ When Audio Track RecordLock is enabled,
any record-enabled audio tracks remain armed
after playback or recording stops.
◆ When Audio Track RecordLock is not enabled,
any record-enabled audio tracks are disarmed
when Pro Tools is stopped. This prevents tracks
from remaining armed across takes, emulating
track arming behavior of a digital dubber.
Delay Compensation Settings
When using DestructivePunch to punch into an
existing recording, make sure the Delay Com-
pensation settings are the same as when the
original file was recorded.
◆ If Delay Compensation was active when re-
cording the original file, it should be kept active
while punching into the original file in Destruc-
tivePunch mode.
◆ If Delay Compensation was inactive when re-
cording the original file, it should be deactivated
while punching into the original file in Destruc-
tivePunch mode.
To ensure that the Delay Compensation path on
record tracks remains consistent while using De-
structivePunch, you will need to prevent
Pro Tools from using the Low Latency monitor-
ing path when record tracks switch to Input
monitoring.
To ensure that Low-Latency monitoring is disabled
for a record track:
■ Start-Control-click (Windows) or Command-
Control-click (Mac) the Track Compensation in-
dicator on the track.
To ensure that Low-Latency monitoring is disabled
for all selected record tracks:
■ Start-Control-Shift-click (Windows) or Com-
mand-Control-Shift-click (Mac) the Track Com-
pensation indicator on the track.
To ensure that Low-Latency monitoring is disabled
for all record tracks:
■ Start-Control-Alt-Shift-click (Windows) or
Command-Control-Option-Shift-click (Mac)
the Track Compensation indicator on the track.
Enabling DestructivePunch Mode
Before you can enable individual audio tracks
for DestructivePunch recording, you must put
Pro Tools in DestructivePunch mode.
To enable DestructivePunch mode:
1 Make sure Pro Tools is not recording or play-
ing back (the Transport is stopped).
2 Do one of the following:
• Select Options > DestructivePunch.
• Right-click the Transport Record button
and choose DestructivePunch from the
pop-up menu.
• Start-click (Windows) or Control-click
(Mac) the Transport Record button to cycle
through available Record modes until De-
structivePunch mode is indicated by “dp”
in the Transport Record Enable button.
