Listen to Your Recording
After you have recorded some audio, you can play it back for review, editing, and mixing.
To play back a recorded track:
1. Click the track’s Record Enable button again to take it out of Record mode. The Record Enable button stops flashing red.
2. To start playback, press the Spacebar or click Play in the Transport.
3. To stop playback, press the Spacebar or click Stop in the Transport.
4. In the Transport window, click the Return to Zero button, or press the Return key (Mac) or the Enter key on the alpha-numeric keyboard (Windows) if you want to start recording from the beginning of the project.
5. Click the Record button in the Transport to record arm the session. The button flashes red. (This tells Pro Tools that you are ready to record—think of this as a “master” record enable button for the session.)
6. Choose Window > Edit so you can watch what happens when you record.
7. When you are ready to start recording, press the Spacebar or click the Play button in the Transport. The Transport Record button and the track’s Record Enable button turn solid red while recording.
8. To stop recording, press the Spacebar again or click the Stop button in the Transport. (The Transport Record button disengages, but the track’s Record Enable button remains enabled and flashes red until you click it).
