also selects it in the Clip List.
Edit Selection Follows Clip List
Selection
When selected, selecting a clip in the
Clip List causes Pro Tools to highlight that clip’s
occurrence in a track.
Auto-Name Separated Clips
When selected,
Pro Tools automatically names newly separated
clips by appending a number to the clip’s name.
“Separate Clip” Operates On All Related
Takes
When selected, editing a clip with the
Separate Clip command also affects all other re-
lated takes (recording passes) with the same User
Time Stamp. This option helps you compare dif-
ferent sections from a group of related takes.
Clip Gain Nudge Value
This setting specifies the
amount (from 0.1 dB to 6.0 dB) by which clip gain
settings are adjusted when nudging clip gain.
Tracks Section
New Tracks Default To Tick Timebase
When
selected, all new tracks default to ticks. When de-
selected, audio, Auxiliary Input, Master Fader, and
VCA (Pro Tools HD only) tracks default to sam-
ples.
Memory Locations Section
Auto-Name Memory Locations When
Playing
When selected, Pro Tools gives new
Memory Locations default names based on their
time location in the session. The time units cur-
rently chosen in the View menu determine the
units for the names.
Recall Memory Location at Original Track
When
selected, Memory Locations that recall a selection
also recall the track in which the selection was
made.

the amount of pre-roll to be added when you are
auditioning crossfades in the Fades dialog.

fies the amount of post-roll to be added when you

recordings. Crossfades occur before the punch in
and after the punch out.
Preserve Fades when Editing

serves fade-ins and fade outs, and converts sepa-
rated crossfades into corresponding fade-ins and
fade-outs.
