If i'm in a live recording session with multiple tracks going, how can I dis-arm a track without the recording stopping altogether?
Thanks,
Bruce

If you mean drop one track out of record while the others are still recording, then no I don't think it can be done.
If you want to monitor an input source while recording other inputs, select "don't make recordings from this device" for the record mode field.

I don't think it can be done. If you don't mind my asking, in what situation would it be handy for you?
If it's just one instrument at a time, you can use the "punch" feature, but that's not a realtime solution.

Lunch Money,
The scenario is this:
I'm recording the worship band during a church service. When the sermon starts, I'd like to keep recording the Pastor's channel as a backup to the other computer, but I don't want to keep recording silence from the other channels coming in. It's not only unnecessary, but the system I'm using usually runs out of resources before the sermon is over, and Tracktion crashes.
Bottom line? I'd like to have Tracktion behave like a multi-track tape deck where I can arm and dis-arm a track anytime I want to.

maby u could ask the sermon to wait 30 seconds before he starts so u can stop & disconnect all the unwanted lines in
or hope T2 has it & we can afford the upgrade
good will & blessings to all

I'm fairly certain Tracktion won't do what you want.. 
I can think of a couple of possible work arounds: if you can find another PC to install your second copy of Tracktion on, split the Pastor's mic to both recorders: a "y" split cable should do the trick if you don't have a spare aux send, or suitable direct out available.
You can now leave the second box recording one channel all the time, while starting & stopping the multitrack recorder when needed.
The second PC won't need a high spec as it will only be recording a single mono track, and the results can be edited together fairly easily afterwards if needed..
Alternatively you may want to consider recording some less critical channels at 16 bit rather than 24 (assuming you were recording hi res files) to squeeze more performance from the machine.. you do have your latency set nice and high don't you?
