The Workspace includes columns for Audio and
Video Volume designators. These two columns

ume is a Record, Playback, or Transfer volume.

video files already on the volume, and record
new files.
P (Playback Only) Can play audio and video files
already on the volume, but cannot have new
files recorded to it.
T (Transfer) Can only be used for storing, trans-
ferring, or auditioning files, and cannot be used
for recording or playback.

If you have a Pro Tools system with multi-
ple drives, and you intend to record multiple
tracks simultaneously, you may want to
designate the System drive as a Playback

formance.
