Pro Tools 101_ An Introduction to Pro Tools 11 ( PDFDrive )

In the case of direct digital recording, which involves a one-to-one transfer,
the source levels are copied directly to Pro Tools, typically with no level
adjustment possible. (Some digital playback devices support digital output
gain adjustment, allowing levels to be modified at the source.)
Pan Position
Setting the pan affects the stereo placement of a signal for monitoring and
playback purposes only; it has no effect on how the audio files are actually
recorded.
To set the pan position of the signal, change the position of the Pan knob(s)
for the track in the Mix window. The pan is initially set to >0<, signifying the
center of the stereo field. Pan settings range from <100 (hard left) to 100>
(hard right).
Recording and Managing Audio
With your sound source routed to one or more tracks and the desired tracks
record-enabled, you are ready to begin recording audio. Pro Tools offers a
variety of recording modes that can be used in different audio recording
situations. We will use the default mode (Nondestructive Record) for all
work done in this course.
Other record modes are covered in the 200- and 300-level
Pro Tools courses.
To begin recording audio, do the following:
1. Display the Transport window, if it is not already showing (WINDOW >
TRANSPORT).
2. To display or hide the expanded view, click the EXPANDED VIEW toggle
button in the upper-right corner (Windows) or upper-left corner (Mac) of
the Transport window, or click the Transport window menu icon and
select EXPANDED TRANSPORT.
3. Verify that one or more tracks have been record-enabled. (See the
“Record-Enabling Tracks” section earlier in this lesson.)
