The following table lists the available attributes for
each path type:
Interfaces can also be renamed.
Restoring Default Paths and
Path Names
You can restore I/O Setup paths to their default
state at any time. You may want to restore defaults
if, for example, you replace or add an audio inter-
face to your system.
To restore default paths and path names:
1 Choose Setup > I/O.
2 Click the Input, Output, Insert, or Bus tab to dis-
play the corresponding path type.
3 Click Default. Pro Tools does the following:
• If a session is open, deletes any paths that are not
in use.
• Creates new default paths up to the capacity of
your system’s available physical I/O and re-
sources.
• Resets path names to the default path names (see
“Default Path Names” on page 110). These de-
fault path names appear in track Input and Out-
put Path selectors.
4 Click OK to save changes and close the I/O
Setup.
Renaming Paths
Path names can be customized in the I/O Setup.
To rename a path in the I/O Setup:
1 Double-click the path name.
2 Type a new path name.
3 Click OK to save changes and close the I/O
Setup.
