Instrument track arming issue
I don't recall having this issue before, so maybe it's 2018, not sure.
In a session with both audio and instrument tracks, with all but the instrument tracks armed, as soon as I arm any instrument track, all the audio tracks are disarmed. Big pain. I've tried it with or without an instrument inserted in the instrument track, same problem. Help appreciated.

Re: Instrument track arming issue
Never noticed this, but then I never record on an instrument track!

Re: Instrument track arming issue
Interesting, Climber. Could you explain why you don't record on an instrument track? Sounds like you may have a better approach.

Re: Instrument track arming issue
I think you need to hold a modifier key when record enabling he instrument track if you want the rest to stay enabled. I don't remember which one. Try holding either the alt, ctrl, or cmmd key while enabling.

Re: Instrument track arming issue
I am also dealing with this problem and it seems like it is a new preference somewhere that I haven't been able to find yet. But I find it very annoying too.
It used to be that pressing the record enable buttons from audio to MIDI/Instrument tracks would keep the audio tracks armed. But now it clears previous record enabled tracks kind of like when you go between instrument tracks. I really don't like the new change and I hope somebody knows where a preference is to change it back.

Re: Instrument track arming issue
I record to a separate midi track that has its output directed at the instrument track. Gives more flexibility

Re: Instrument track arming issue
The behavior may have changed a little bit but record enabling instrument and midi tracks always disabled others as far as I remember. It's the shift key that you hold when enabling the instrument or midi track that will leave the others enabled.

Re: Instrument track arming issue
Check in Pro Tools preferences.
Toss AAE prefs.
