Pro Tools Reference Guide94
Insert Page
The Insert page of the I/O Setup lets you create and
edit hardware insert signal paths for the Pro Tools
mixer. Hardware inserts can route audio through
an external device connected to parallel inputs and
outputs of a Pro Tools audio interface. This lets
you process audio on a track with a hardware insert
in real time.
Insert paths require audio interface inputs and out-
puts, and are determined by the configuration of
the Insert page in the I/O Setup for your system.
Mic Preamps Page
On the Mic Preamps page of the I/O Setup,
signal paths for one or more PRE multi-purpose
microphone preamplifiers can be mapped to
audio interfaces. For more information, see the
PRE Guide.
H/W Insert Delay
(Compensation) Page
To compensate for the delay (latency) of any exter-
nal hardware devices (such as an effects unit) used
in your session, you can set the amount of Hard-
ware Insert Delay Compensation (in milliseconds)
for each external device. These times will be used
by the Delay Compensation Engine to time-align
input paths when the hardware insert is in use and
Delay Compensation is enabled.
