Disable Countoff Completely?
Hi--
I KNOW this is a dumb question, but I'm stumped & annoyed. I just did a complete reinstall of my OS (Mac El Capitan) and PT (11.3.1). Everything is working quite fine, EXCEPT that when I hit record, it takes a few seconds (basically a bar) before starting. Recording used to start immediately, before the reinstall. I'm sure I'm just not seeing it, but where is the option to disable countoff (for both record & playback)? (I found, under Click/Countoff, the option for countoff "only during record" and now playback is immediate. But there's still the annoying pause before record starts.) thanks ~peter in istanbul

On the "expanded" transport.

Re: Disable Countoff Completely?
Thanks for the replies guys, but nothing in the (expanded) transport helps. All there is there is pre/post roll, fade-in, and "transport online". I can't put transport online, getting an error "Pro Tools cannot be put online while in Countoff mode."
Perhaps this is a bug with PT 11.3.1 on El Capitan? Has anyone else encountered the inability to disable countoff?

I cannot remember if it's the same in PT 11, but at the top right of the edit screen in 12 is a small, downward pointing arrow. If you click on this a midi window will pop up. In this window de-select "Countoff" and you will have no delay on going into record.

Just to highlight what I was talking about.

Re: Disable Countoff Completely?
You're on a PC, so I don't know if this would apply, but I used to see this behavior on a Mac. Seems that if you had system settings to input on line in, Pro Tools would have to switch to it's hardware every time you went into record, causing such a delay. On a Mac, you could set the system audio to Digital in or to the Pro Tools hardware and that would eliminate the problem.
It's been a while, so I don't remember if this was the exact problem, but I would check your Playback Engine settings to make sure they are on the correct hardware as well.

Re: Disable Countoff Completely?
Having just re-read your system specs, I see that you have installed El Capitan. There have been problems running PT11 under El Capitan and it has only just been qualified for PT12.
