Online Options
Record Online at Timecode (or ADAT)
Lock
When selected, online recording begins as
soon as Pro Tools receives and locks to incoming
timecode.
Record Online at Insertion/Selection When se-
lected, online recording begins at the edit cursor
location. Recording continues until Pro Tools
stops receiving timecode. If you make a selection,
Pro Tools records online for the length of the se-
lection.
DestructivePunch File Length ( Pro Tools HD and
Pro Tools with Complete Production Toolkit Only
)
This preference sets the duration of consolidated
audio files when preparing tracks for Destructive-
Punch mode. The default value for this setting is 25
minutes.
Misc (Miscellaneous) Section
Clip Auto Fade In/Out Length (Pro Tools HD and
Complete Production Toolkit Only)
Sets a default
length for fade-ins and fade-outs automatically ap-
plied to clip boundaries. Using automatic fade-ins
and fade-outs saves you the trouble of editing to
zero-crossings or creating numerous rendered
fades in order to eliminate clicks or pops in play-
back. Autofades are not written to disk. Value
range is from 0–10 ms for the
Auto Clip Fade
In/Out Length
setting. A value of zero means that
no auto-fading will occur. The Auto Fade value is
saved with the session, and is automatically ap-
plied to all free-standing clip boundaries until you
change it.
Calibration Reference Level (Avid HDX,
Pro Tools|HD, and HD Native Systems Only)
Sets
a default calibration reference level in dB when
Pro Tools is in Calibration mode. For audio inter-
faces that have trims (such as the HD I/O), see the
interface’s guide for calibration instructions.
Delay Compensation Time Mode When Delay
Compensation is enabled (
Options > Delay Com-
pensation
), this option lets you choose whether in-
formation in the Delay Manager is displayed in
milliseconds or samples.
Compensate Side Chains (Avid HDX Systems
Only)
When Delay Compensation is enabled (Op-
tions > Delay Compensation
), this option applies
Delay Compensation to plug-in sidechain signals.
If your system includes one or more EUCON
controllers, be sure to disable “Auto-bank to
selected track” in EuControl software before
enabling Pro Tools Calibration Mode to en-
sure that faders remain silent. To make sure
“Auto-bank to select track” is not enabled,
open the EuControl Settings window, click to
go to the General tab, and verify the setting is
not enabled. If necessary, click to disable
“Auto-bank to selected track.” After exiting
Calibration Mode, be sure to re-enable the
“Auto-bank to selected track” setting (if nec-
essary).
