Record Monitoring Modes
Pro Tools offers two modes of input monitoring:
Auto Input and Input Only. These monitoring
modes determine how input signals are moni-
tored during playback, record, or while the
transport is stopped.
Auto Input Monitoring
In Auto Input mode, when session playback is
stopped, Pro Tools monitors audio input. When
playback is started for a punch-in, Pro Tools
monitors existing track material up until the
punch point. While punched in, the input sig-
nal is monitored. On punch-out, monitoring
switches back to the existing track material. This
is similar to the auto-switching logic found on
digital and analog multitrack tape machines.
Input Only Monitoring
In Input Only mode, when a track is record-en-
abled, Pro Tools monitors audio input only, re-
gardless of any punch-in/out selection or state.
For Pro Tools LE, the Input Monitor Enabled
Status indicator (in the Transport window)
lights green when Input Only mode is enabled.
For Pro Tools HD, the indicator lights green
when one or more tracks have TrackInput en-
abled.
Selecting a Record Monitor Mode
in Pro Tools LE
For record-enabled tracks to use Auto Input

Selecting Record Monitor Modes
with TrackInput Monitoring
(Pro Tools HD Only)
TrackInput monitoring lets you toggle individual
audio tracks between Auto Input and Input
Only monitoring modes at any time, during
playback, recording, while stopped, and even
when a track is not record-enabled. TrackInput
monitoring provides the necessary monitoring
flexibility for overdubbing and mixing, and is
similar to input switching on analog multitrack
recorders and similar machines.
When in Auto Input mode, the switch back
to monitoring track material on punch-out
is not instantaneous.
With Pro Tools HD, tracks are in Auto In-
put mode by default, and a monitoring con-
trol (TrackInput button) is provided for each
track. See “Selecting Record Monitor Modes
with TrackInput Monitoring” on page 261.
