Getting Started with MIX44
Pro Tools Hardware Settings
Pro Tools lets you set the default sample rate
and clock source for your system, as well as a
range of controls specific to each type of audio
interface.
Default Sample Rate
The Sample Rate setting appears as the default
sample rate when you create a new session.
(This setting is available in the Hardware Setup
dialog only when no session is open.)
To change the default Sample Rate:
1 Make sure that no Pro Tools session is open.
2 Choose Setups > Hardware (Pro Tools 5.1.3) or
Setups > Hardware Setup (Pro Tools 6.0).
3 Choose the sample rate from the Sample Rate
pop-up menu.
4 Click OK.
Clock Source
The Pro Tools Hardware Setup dialog allows you
to select the Clock Source for the system. (Clock
Source is called Sync Mode in Pro Tools 5.1.3).
Internal If you are recording an analog signal di-
rectly into Pro Tools, you will usually use the
Pro Tools Internal clock source. The Clock
Source automatically changes to Internal when
you change the Ch. 1–2 Input to Analog.
Digital If you are transferring material into
Pro Tools from an external digital device, you
will usually synchronize Pro Tools to that digital
device. The Clock Source automatically changes
to the corresponding digital format when you
change the Ch. 1–2 Input to a digital format.
To select the Clock Source:
1 Choose Setups > Hardware (Pro Tools 5.1.3) or
Setups > Hardware Setup (Pro Tools 6.0).
Hardware Setup for 888|24 I/O (Pro Tools 6.0)
Hardware Setup for 882|20 I/O (Pro Tools 5.1.3)
You can change the sample rate when creat-
ing a new Pro Tools session by selecting a
different sample rate in the New Session di-
alog. (See
“Starting a Session” on page 55.)
