Input Quantize
When Input Quantize is enabled, all recorded
MIDI notes are quantized automatically. Input
Quantize is often useful for achieving rhythmi-
cally precise MIDI recordings. However, to pre-
serve all of the original nuance of your recorded
MIDI tracks (such as
rubato phrasing), disable
this option.
Wait for Note
The Wait for Note button, located in the Trans-
port window, determines how Pro Tools begins
recording. When enabled, Pro Tools does not
start recording until a MIDI event is received.
This ensures that recording begins only when
you start playing, and that the first note, or
other MIDI data, is recorded precisely at the be-
ginning of the record range (start time).
Wait for Note can be used when recording nor-
mally, when punching in, or when loop record-
ing. If pre-roll is enabled, it occurs after the
MIDI event is received and before recording be-
gins.

exclusive and cannot both be enabled at the
same time. If, for instance, Countoff is en-
abled and you click the Wait for Note but-
ton, Countoff is disabled.
