Factory I/O Settings
Pro Tools provides factory I/O settings for stereo
and surround mixing, and are automatically in-
stalled with Pro Tools. These settings provide new
sessions with generic path and sub-paths for either
mixing format.
Factory I/O settings are available in the I/O Set-
tings pop-up menu of the Quick Start or New Ses-
sion dialog.
Stereo Mix Settings
This Stereo Mix setting creates the maximum
number of stereo paths, as determined by the avail-
able system’s I/O Setup and hardware configura-
tion.
Surround Mix Settings
(Pro Tools HD and Pro Tools with Complete
Production Toolkit Only)
The Surround Mix setting provides additional, sur-
round-specific Output and Bus settings files.
