AFL/PFL Mutes (Output Path)
(Systems without a D-Control or D-Command
Control Surface)
If you are not using a D-Control or D-Command
worksurface, your regular Pro Tools output path
can be muted when you send a signal to the
AFL/PFL Path. The muted path is set with the
AFL/PFL Mutes (Output Path) selector.
The
AFL/PFL Mutes selector is available in the
Output and Bus pages of the I/O Setup.
To set which output path is muted when tracks are
soloed in AFL or PFL Solo mode:
1 Choose Setup > I/O.
2 Click the Output tab to display the Output page.
3 Select a path from the AFL/PFL Mutes (Output
Path) pop-up menu.
4 Click OK to save your changes to the I/O Setup
and close the I/O Setup.
Low Latency Monitoring
(HD Native Systems Only)
With HD Native systems, the Output page of the
I/O Setup lets you enable (or disable) Low Latency
Monitoring. It also lets you specify any available
Output path for Low Latency Monitoring. The
Output path for Low Latency Monitoring can be of
any channel width (from Mono to 7.1). Low La-
tency Monitoring uses Outputs 1–2 by default.
To configure Low Latency Monitoring in the I/O
Setup:
1 Open the I/O Setup dialog (Setup > I/O).
2 Click the Output tab.
3 Enable the Low Latency Monitoring option.
4 From the Low Latency Monitoring pop-up menu,
select the Output path you want to use for Low
Latency Monitoring.
5 Click OK to save your changes and close the I/O
Setup.
Default Monitor Format
(Pro Tools HD and Pro Tools with Complete
Production Toolkit Only)
The Default Monitor Format pop-up menu lets you
select the default monitor format (Stereo, 5.1, or
7.1) for new Output paths and for when you click
the
Default button.
This setting does not affect existing path defini-
tions or metering—it only specifies channel map-
ping in new 5.1-format paths.
The
Default Monitor Format selector is only avail-
able in the Output page of I/O Setup.
To choose a Default Monitor Format:
 Select the channel mapping from the Default
Monitor Format
pop-up menu.
See “Solo Modes” on page 251 for more
information on selecting and using AFL or
PFL Solo modes.
