Reserve Voices for Preview in Context
(Pro Tools|HD Systems Only)
When enabled,
Pro Tools reserves the appropriate number of
voices for preview in context (previewing audio
files in DigiBase during session playback). The
number of available voices is reduced by the chan-
nel width of the selected audition paths on the Out-
put page of the I/O Setup window. For example, if
the number of playback voices is set to 48 in the
Playback Engine, and you have a stereo audition
path selected in the I/O Setup, only 46 voices will
be available for tracks. If you have a 5.1 audition
path, only 42 voices will be available. When this
option is disabled, you will not be able to preview
in context if there are not enough available voices.
Custom Shuttle Lock Speed Sets the highest fast-
forward Shuttle Lock speed (key 9) for Shuttle
Lock modes (Classic or Transport).
The range for this setting is 50–800%.
Press Start+N (Windows) or Control+N

Start Marker Follows Playback preference
