While recording a live performance like a concert or recording an orchestra, it is imperative that the recorder do not stop unintentionally.

Having a function that block any accidental stop while recording (or stop a live playback during a live show) is an critical function.

There are several way to accidentally stop the Pro Tools transport by the keyboard, mouse or by a surface control.

The obvious is the Play/Stop but there is also a memory recall would have the same result.

While recording a show, you will want to fine tune the mix, solo track, drop memory locations, etc. which are all maneuvers that could trigger a STOP if you were to touch an unwanted close by key.

A work around keyboard solution would not be enough in this context which one take is worth thousands of dollars.

I which that AVID would implement a full transport lock function.
