Arming Tracks Remotely for
Layback
To arm tracks remotely for layback, you need to
first configure Track Arming for your machine.
To configure Track Arming:
1
Make sure your machine is properly con-
nected and configured to slave to Pro Tools.
2
Open the Track Arming window.
3
Select a Record Protocol (Auto Edit or Punch
In/Out).
4
Select a Record mode (Insert or Assemble).
To perform a layback:
1
In Pro Tools, select the audio to lay back, or
place the playback cursor at a start point.
2
In the Remote Track Arming window, arm the
appropriate tracks on the machine.
3
Select
Transport = Machine
in the Pro Tools
Transport window.
4
Make sure the Pro Tools Transport is online.
5
Click Record in the Transport window to arm
recording.
6
Click Play in the Transport window.
Your machine will cue to the selection start mi-
nus all relevant pre-roll, then begin to play back.
Pro Tools will then sync to the deck, and the tar-
get deck will record as determined by your set-
tings for Record Protocol and Record mode. If
you did not create an on-screen selection, deck
recording will continue until you manually stop
playback.
Once the Track Arming options are config-
ured, you can change the Track Arming
window to “small view” and still see the
track arm buttons.
