Arming Pro Tools for
Recording
With tracks in record-ready mode and their in-
puts assigned, you are ready to arm Pro Tools for
recording.

The REC ARM switches are located directly be-
low the MIC/LINE AMPS and LINE SUBMIXER
sections near the top of each channel strip.
These switches arm disk track channel strips for
recording.
The channel REC ARM switch LED will flash
when a channel is in Record-Ready mode and

from the fader section:
■
Press the REC ARM switch on the tracks to
which you would like to record.
Flashing LEDs on the MASTER REC switch and

Record-Ready mode.
The MASTER REC switch will flash whenever
