Signal Path Routing for Audio Input
The following example shows the signal path from the physical analog input of an HD OMNI audio
interface, through the Pro Tools audio input path, to the Input of an audio track in the Pro Tools mixer:
(1) Physical Input
For Avid HD interfaces, such as
the HD OMNI, the physical inputs that are avail-
able to Pro Tools are set on the Main page of the
Hardware Setup (this selector is mirrored in the In-
put page of the I/O Setup).
(2) Input Path
Main input paths and sub-paths are
routed (patched) to physical inputs using cross-
point matrix mapping in the I/O Setup. In this ex-
ample, audio input is routed from HD OMNI phys-
ical inputs Analog 1–2 to Pro Tools Input channels
A 1–2.
(3) Track Input
Input paths and sub-paths are
routed to track inputs in the Pro Tools mixer by se-
lecting the path (or sub-path) from the Track Input
selector. In this example, input sub-path A1 is
routed to the input of track “Audio 1.”

For Pro Tools systems such as the Mbox Pro
and the 003, physical inputs are fixed. For
third-party and built-in hardware, in the
Hardware Setup click the Launch Setup App
button for available configuration options.
