Cant record enable more than one track at a time

[Aikoaiko]

I made a new session template with an updated I/O list, etc.... and now when I record enable a 2nd track, the first is disabled. I can no longer enable two tracks at the same time. I went back to other sessions and can still enable two at at time and I cant see what I did wrong on the new template. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Have you ever had Pro Tools working properly over a long period of time on your current system?

Post a Sandra Report;

What kind of tracks are these? On my system, if I want to put more than 1 instrument track into record-ready, I hold the ALT key and click on one, and that makes all the instrument tracks go red.

I'm enabling a mic and guitar line in. But I also use up to 6 at a time when I render my drums to an audio file (to save CPU). I enable one track, then when I click to enable the 2nd track, it turns off the first track that I enabled. Crazy. I have gone back to older sessions and multi tracks work at the same time just fine. So I think I must have done something in preferences, or setup, etc.... on my new template.

If I have to, I will utilize an old session to make a new template, but I would like to understand what caused this to occur. And keep all of the work I did on the new
template.

Thanks

Never seen that here with audio tracks. Maybe try trashing prefs? That's step #1 for any "odd" behavior with Pro Tools.

I found it: Setup/Preferences/Operation Tab/Record - Latch Record Enable was unchecked.

thx

Or, if the Preference is unchecked, just Shift + Click other record buttons when one is lit.

Cheers,
