Problem punching in with Pro Tools

[audiosweet]

I don't know if somethin got turned off but when i try to punch in I have teh track armed to record...I mark where i want to punch and give myself a few seconds of lead in with pre-roll...but there is no audio on the track that's armed until i cross over the punch in point. This never used to happen. I used to be able to even punch in drums and you would hear the audio when all the tracks were armed but not anymore. Would anyone know what setting and where it is for me to switch around?

Toggle "Auto Input"? Option+K (mac) or Alt+K (win).

Yup. It's a button for each individual channel right next to the Solo and Mute buttons on HD. I don't know why they hid it away in a menu in LE. It's almost as confusing as that damn n button turning on and off "insert follows playback"

You know which one I wish I could disable? The Y key (shortcut for "move to song start"). I can't tell you how many times I've been trying to zoom in with T and accidentally hit Y and suddenly find myself at the very beginning of the session. ARGH!
