Chapter 6: I/O Setup

Deleting Paths
Path definitions can be deleted from the current
session to reflect changes to your hardware
setup, or to clean up track selector menus by re-
moving unwanted or unnecessary path defini-
tions. After deleting a path, any tracks or send
assignments to that path are reset to No Output.
To delete a main path or sub-path:
1
In the I/O Setup dialog, select the path you
want to delete.
2
Click Delete Path.
To delete all paths:
1
Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac) any
path name.
2
Click Delete Path.
Channel Mapping
Once a path has been created and formatted, it
can be mapped to specific audio interface, or bus
channels in the Grid.
To map channels:
1
Select a main or sub-path.
2
In the row for the selected path, click in the
Grid column under an audio interface and
channel. Other channels for the path type, if
any, fill to the right.
For example, when mapping a new stereo path,
clicking in the path row under output channel 1
fills both channel 1 and 2 (left to 1, right to 2).
Channel Mapping and Surround Mixer
(Pro Tools HD Only)
When mapping multichannel paths, the left
channel (L) is mapped first to the clicked Grid
box, and remaining channels fill immediately to
the right according to the default path order. Be-
cause some multichannel mixing formats use
unique track layouts, Pro Tools lets you set the
default format in the I/O Setup dialog (see “I/O
Setup Options” on page 59).
Remapping Channels
You can move the individual assignments to dif-
ferent channels, to reorder the path’s definition
(for example, changing a multichannel map to
L-R-C-LF-LS-RS).
To remap channels in a path:
■
Drag the channel to the new location in the
Grid. Other channel assignments will move
(shuffle) to accommodate dragged channels.
Mapping channels
To remap channels in a path, see “Remap-
ping Channels” on page 53.
