Default Auto Record Enable on MIDI Tracks

So if I select one or multiple MIDI tracks they are automatically RECORD ENABLED. I didn't use a controller keyboard for years, but now that I am I find this incredibly annoying. So this is just one of those "the way it is" things? I have an AKAI MPK249. Is there is no way to turn off this "feature"?

I have dome some searches and it seems that it's not a preference anywhere...

This shouldn't happen. With everything shutdown disconnect the Akai. Restart the computer and PT and try what you wrote above and see if they're still coming up record enabled. Don't say that it didn't happen before - just try what I write here. If the tracks are not automatically record enabled then that rules out PT.


Power down everything and reconnect the Akai. Go online and grab the free snoize MIDI monitor utility. Run it standalone. Open the disclosure arrow in the filter entry and unclick 'clock' under the real time heading. That will stop annoying clock messages. See what kind of messages come up from the Akai; without pressing anything on the Akai there shouldn't be anything.


What I'm getting at is that it may well be the Akai doing something it shouldn't.

Do you have „M-Audio Keyboard“ enabled in the Peripherals/MIDI Controllers dialog?

this still happens even if my keyboard is disconnected and I restart PT. I will try un-enabling it in peripherals tonight & see if that changes things.

Default Re: Auto Record Enable on MIDI Tracks

I un-enabled my keyboard in the Peripherals tab and it doesn't enable auto-record on MIDI tracks.

the other issue with this happening is that when I'm editing a MIDI track it often pops up a dialog saying that I don't have an Input selected!

this feature is VERY annoying!!!!

the idea behind the auto record Midi thing is to quickly switch between tracks with the M-Audio keyboard to play along without the need of a pause, switching things off and on...

the second thing is that if you have M-Audio keyboard enabled in the peripherals dialog, PT wants to record enable the track you select. The it has no input enabled, it tells you that, because PT can´t record enable a track without any input.

if you don't need the special M-Audio keyboard features - "Hypercontrol" - then deactivate it in the Peripherals dialog. The keyboard will still work but you will not have features like plugin control (which is nice) or navigating through your session with the M-Audio keyboard.

The interesting thing is that I have an Akai keyboard, and there is no Akai option. What should I use?
