Mixing Preferences
Setup Section
Sends Default to –INF When selected, the initial
fader level of newly-created sends is set to – (no
audible signal level). When not selected, the initial
fader level of newly-created sends is set to 0 dB.
Send Pans Default to Follow Main Pan When se-
lected, newly created sends have
Follow Main Pan
turned on, so the Send Pan controls follow the pan
controls of the track. When not selected, newly
created sends have
Follow Main Pan turned off.
Link Mix and Edit Group Enables When selected,
this option links enabling and disabling of Mix and
Edit Groups. For example, enabling Group A in

Use Absolute Pan Linking (Pro Tools HD and

This option affects behavior of grouped pan
controls.
• When selected, grouped pan controls do not
maintain relative offsets when any of the
grouped pan controls is adjusted. All grouped
pan controls snap to the absolute value of the ad-
justed control.
• When not selected, grouped pan controls main-
tain relative offsets when any of the linked con-
trols is adjusted.

This preference lets you choose any installed EQ
plug-in as the default, which makes it available for
quick assignment, both on-screen and on ICON
worksurfaces (Pro Tools HD and Pro Tools with
Complete Production Toolkit only). On-screen, the
plug-in appears at the top of the Insert selector
pop-up menu. On ICON worksurfaces, the plug-in
appears first in the list of menu choices on the ro-
tary encoders.
Default Dynamics
This preference lets you choose any installed Dy-
namics plug-in as the default, which makes it
available for quick assignment, both on-screen and
on ICON worksurfaces (Pro Tools HD and
Pro Tools with Complete Production Toolkit
only). On-screen, the plug-in appears at the top of
the Insert selector pop-up menu. On ICON work-
surfaces, the plug-in appears first in the list of
menu choices on the rotary encoders.
