Send Path Choices
The choices available in track Send selectors in-
clude bus and output paths.
Internal Mix Busses
Pro Tools HD provides 128
busses and Pro Tools LE provides 32 busses for
routing signals internally. Internal bus paths are
useful for submixing and processing with plug-
ins. Bus paths are defined in the I/O Setup dia-
log, and are available in all supported channel
formats (mono, stereo, or multichannel, as sup-
ported on your system).
Hardware Outputs
Hardware sends are often
used for headphone cue mixes, or for sending
signals to external effects processors. Sends do
not automatically return audio as do hardware
inserts.
Configuring Sends View in the Mix
and Edit Windows
Audio tracks, Auxiliary Inputs, and Instrument
tracks include two sets of Sends Views: Sends
A–E (sends 1–5) and Sends F–J (sends 6–10). The
View menu provides separate options for view-
ing these sends in the Mix and Edit windows.
To display sends in the Mix window:
■
Select any of the following:
• View > Mix Window > Sends A–E.
• View > Mix Window > Sends F–J.
To display sends in the Edit window:
■
Select any of the following:
• View > Edit Window > Sends A–E.
• View > Edit Window > Sends F–J.
The names, format, and channel mapping
of busses and output paths can be custom-
ized in the I/O Setup dialog. See “Creating
and Editing Paths” on page 49.
