board).

Record Safe Mode
Pro Tools provides a Record Safe mode to keep a
track in a session from being record-enabled.
This is a way to avoid inadvertently recording
over a track, particularly in large sessions where
some tracks may be outside of the currently vis-
ible bank.
Record Safe mode also expands the uses for the
MASTER REC switch. If you protect selected
tracks with Record Safe mode, then MASTER
RECORD becomes a one-touch way to record
enable the remaining tracks.
To enable record safe status on a channel strip:
1
Press REC SAFE.
2
Do one of the following:
• Press REC ARM on the channel you would
like to put into Record Safe mode.
– or –
• While pressing (CTL), press the channel
REC ARM switch.
The REC SAFE LED will light when any tracks are
placed in Record Safe mode.

switch UTILITY options for play/stop,
