Chapter 7: I/O Setup 107
New Paths Dialog
The New Paths dialog lets you create new paths on
the Input, Output, Bus, and Insert pages of the I/O
Setup.
New Path Row Settings
Number of New Paths Enter the number of new
paths you want to create (or a certain type, like
“Bus”).
Path Format Select the channel width from the
Path Format selector.
Path Name Enter the path name. If you are creat-
ing more than one path, the number of each new
path will be appended to the path name (for exam-
ple, Bus 1, Bus 2, Bus 3, and so on).
Add/Remove Rows Click the Add Row button to
add more paths, or click Click the Remove Row
button to remove paths.
Move Row Icon Drag a Move Row icon up or
down to reorder paths.
Add Default Channel
Assignments Option
Enable Add Default Channel Assignments option if
you want Pro Tools to automatically assign input,
output, and insert paths to physical inputs and out-
puts in the Grid (from the first available channel to
the maximum number of channels available). If the
number of new paths of a certain width exceeds the
number of available channels, Pro Tools wraps
around and starts over at channel 1.
Auto-Create Sub-Paths Option
For input, bus, and insert paths, enable the Auto
Create Sub-Paths
option to have Pro Tools auto-
matically create the default set of sub-paths for the
path format (channel width), as follows:
