Adjusting Plug-in Controls
Adjusting Plug-in Controls
You can adjust plug-in controls by dragging the
control’s slider or knob, or by typing a value into
the control’s text box. Additionally, some plug-
ins have switches that can be enabled by click-
ing on them.
To adjust a plug-in control:
1
Begin audio playback so that you can hear the
control changes in real time.
2
Adjust the controls of the plug-in for the effect
you want. Refer to “Editing Parameters Using a
Mouse” on page 41 and “Editing Parameters Us-
ing a Computer Keyboard” on page 41.
Closing the plug-in will save the most recent
changes.
Editing Parameters Using a Mouse
You can adjust rotary controls by dragging hor-
izontally or vertically. Parameter values increase
as you drag upward or to the right, and decrease
as you drag downward or to the left.
Keyboard Shortcuts
◆ For finer adjustments, Control-drag (Win-
dows) or Command-drag (Mac) the control.
◆ To return a control to its default value, Alt-
click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac) the con-
trol.
Editing Parameters Using a Computer
Keyboard
Some controls have text boxes that display the
current value of the parameter. You can edit the
numeric value of a parameter with your com-
puter keyboard.
If multiple Plug-in windows are open, Tab and
keyboard entry remain focused on the plug-in
that is the target window.
Plug-in controls of similar category (such as
EQ or Dynamics plug-ins) can follow track
groups. See the
Pro Tools Reference Guide for
more information.
