What does arming a track for recording do in Pro Tools?

• A. It disables input monitoring.
• B. It deletes existing clips.
• C. Arming a track for recording enables the track to record audio or MIDI data from the input.
• D. It creates a new track.

Answer: (C)

Arming a track for recording prepares that track to receive input and write it to the timeline when you record. In Pro Tools you assign an input source to the track, then enable arm for recording so the track becomes ready to capture audio or MIDI data. When you hit record, the live signal from the chosen input is written onto the track. This action doesn’t delete any existing clips, doesn’t create new tracks by itself, and doesn’t disable input monitoring—it simply makes the track record-ready. You can arm multiple tracks at once to capture a multi-track take, each using its own input path.
