Create a Track
Pro Tools tracks are where audio, MIDI and other elements get recorded and edited within a
session. Before you can record, you need to create one or more tracks.
To prepare an audio track for recording:
1 In a Pro Tools session, choose Track > New.
2 To record a single mic or instrument (as in our example), set the New Track dialog for
1 Mono Audio Track, in Samples, and click Create.
If you want to record both inputs at once, create one or two new tracks depending on what
you’ve got plugged in and what you plan to record:
• To record two different sources (such as one vocal mic and one electric guitar),
create 2 Mono Audio Tracks. This lets the two input signals be recorded simultaneously,
and be edited, processed, and balanced independently.
• To record a two-channel stereo source (such as a stereo keyboard, or the left and right out-
puts from a DJ mixer), create 1 Stereo Audio Track.
3 Make sure the Mix window is open by choosing Window > Mix.
