X-OR record, is it possible?
I make pop music and NEVER record more than one input source at a time. (it's always either a guitar or a vocal, everything else is midi).
However with big sessions I often find myself going to record a vocal only to realize I left some midi VST way higher in the session record-enabled and now it's written over all that data when I recorded the vocal. So my question is: Is there a way to set PT to X-OR record, in the same way it does with X-OR solo mode, so that selecting record-enable on a track automatically cancels out the track record-enabled before it. This would be very helpful. (p.s. I'm in PT11 if it makes a difference). Last edited by jeffro; 09-02-2018 at 09:56 AM. Reason: Not Mac specific, so moved to the Pro Tools 11 subforum. |

In Pro Tools Preferences / Operation Prefrences
Record Section Latch Record Enable Buttons When selected, multiple audio tracks can be record-enabled. When not selected, multiple audio tracks cannot be re- cord-enabled. Record-enabling an audio track takes all other audio tracks out of record-enabled mode. I do not know if this can help you. Hello |

This still doesn't disengage enabled instrument tracks though, which is the issue.

That's bogus. Brutal.
It's a workaround, but I wonder if clicking option-record pn a track that is enabled would turn disable the instrument record tracks too. (It's my quick shortcut for when I'm borrowing my effects' mixers computer in a mix because she doesn't like x-or solo and I do. It becomes muscle memory easily for me to click/option-click/click.)Sent from my LM-X210CMR using Tapatalk |

Re: X-OR record, is it possible?
Yes I read to the bottom but it doesn't explain why they couldn't have offered it in preferences. There is not requiring it to be an either-or situation. It would be welcomed by the people who need it and not break the workflow for people who don't. Simple solution.

If you enable midi merge, midi tracks won't record over themselves.
