Default Re: Can't hear track I'm recording on but can hear all others

I Was fighting an issue like this and found the solution.

My setup:
osx, PT 12, MBOX Pro (3)

What I wanted:
Monitor the incoming audio on the record enabled track, without using input-only monitoring.
Hear the audio on any other tracks previously recorded.

We often use Pro Tools as a glorious effects loop. We play audio from a computer (let's say off of youtube) and route that through a mixer into pro tools. The "live" track has some EQ, dynamic compressor, etc. Then the output of pro tools goes to a third computer which is recording it in real time.

We do this because we don't need to edit it later, we just want to run some compression or slight EQ.

The solution:
Go into Pro Tools main menu
Select Preferences
Select Operation Tab
In record section:
UNCHECK "Mute Record-Armed Tracks while Stopped".

Hope this helps!
