Hello!

Does anybody know if it is possible to record enable tracks one at a time? It seems like S1 uses latch record by default. In Ableton Live for instance, tracks are record enabled or record "armed" on a one-at-a-time basis unless you hold command or have multiple tracks selected.

In Pro Tools there's a setting that allows you to enable or disable "Latch Record". That way if you record tracks one at a time you can disable it. And if you have a session recording multiple tracks you can enable latch record.

I tried to create a macro to do this but am not sure if it's possible. I know that you can Option+Click a record arm button and it will disable record on all other tracks and just arm that one track.

It's a minor gripe but would love to have a setting to enable/disable latch record. As well as a dedicated keyboard shortcut to record arm only the selected track and disarm all other tracks. This would help a lot of people switching over from Ableton and Pro Tools. Let me know if you have a workaround for this!

Thank you!

This would be very nice indeed!

When working on big session (orchestral etc...) you often record twice by mistake if you don't remember to "de-arm" a track somewhere in the session so that option would be welcome.
