I’m trying to set up a macro that ensures the currently-selected track/tracks are record-enabled, and initiates recording. using Edit - Record Enable works perfectly 50% of the time, but of course triggering it again to stop the recording also disarms the tracks from recording, so if I want to start recording again, I have to trigger it twice to re-enable the tracks for recording.
is there a command that only turns track recording enabled on, instead of acting as a toggle?
I can work with it as-is, if not, but it would be nice to be able to get that behavior down to a single button press (which I’m triggering from a controller).
Would it do what you wanted if you added the “Project Logical Editor - Disable of all tracks” command first? i.e.:
Or, if you don’t want everything else record disabled, just create a new PLE item that record enables the selected track, like this:
(I just used the “Enabled record of visible tracks” factory preset, and modified it so that property = is Selected, rather than visible)
You can then add that into your macro, or setup a key command for it directly.
There’s much you can do with the Project Logical Editor, very powerful.

What would not work with you if you just hit the space bar to stop recording? Tracks keep their record-enabled status.
Depending on the monitoring mode, They may need to toggle record enable to hear the track playback and to record - I have that problem as I like my tracks to auto monitor when record enabled, so it may be something similar that OP has.
yes, that’s exactly it–I have it set to auto-enable when I select a track, and that wrinkle was tripping me up.
thank you, skijumptoes! I’m still new to Cubase, and had already forgotten about the logical editor. I was able to get it working how I need almost identically to your solution (I didn’t include automation, but that may be something I need to include at some point). much appreciated!
