Regions
A
region
is a segment of audio, MIDI, or video
data. A region could be a drum loop, a guitar riff,
a verse of a song, a recording take, a sound ef-
fect, some dialog, or an entire sound file. Re-
gions are especially useful for arranging audio
and MIDI. A region can also have associated au-
tomation data. In Pro Tools, regions are created
from audio files or MIDI data, and can be ar-
ranged in audio and MIDI track playlists. Re-
gions can also be grouped and looped.
Playlist
A
playlist
is a sequence of regions arranged on an
audio, MIDI, or video track. Tracks have
edit
playlists
and
automation playlists
.
On audio tracks, an edit playlist tells the hard
disk which audio regions to play in what order.
For example, you can use the same audio region
to access the same piece of audio multiple times
at different locations and not use additional disk
space. Different versions of the same original au-
dio can be used in different places and have dif-
ferent effects applied. On MIDI and Instrument
tracks, edit playlists can store multiple MIDI se-
quences (or performances) on a track.
A playlist can be made up of a single region or
many separate regions. It can be made up of
similar elements, such as regions from several
different takes of a solo, or dissimilar elements,
such as several sound effects.
You can create any number of alternate edit
playlists for a track. This lets you assemble dif-
ferent versions of performances or edits on a sin-
gle track and choose between them from a pop-
up menu on the track.
Each track also has a single set of automation
playlists, for volume, pan, mute, and each auto-
mation-enabled control for the insert and send
assignments on that track.
Channel
The term
channel
is used to describe several re-
lated components of a Pro Tools system. The
first example of channel refers to a physical in-
put or output of your Pro Tools system. For ex-
ample, a 96 I/O audio interface provides up to
16 channels of input and output to a
Pro Tools|HD system, while an Mbox 2 audio in-
terface provides up to four inputs and two out-
puts.
The second use of the term
channel
refers to a
channel strip in the Pro Tools Mix window.
Each track in a Pro Tools session has a corre-
sponding
channel strip
in the Mix window.
Audio and MIDI channel strips have similar
controls, but those controls have slightly differ-
ent effects. For example, audio, Auxiliary Input,
and Instrument track channel strip faders con-
