Assign Existing Track from a Track Output
Pro Tools lets you assign the Output of a track to
the Input of an existing track using an available in-
ternal mix bus. Note that the destination track must
be set to either an internal mix bus or to
No Input in
order to be available for assignment.
To assign the output of a track to an available input
on an existing track:
1 On an existing track, click the Output selector
for a track and select
Track.
2 From the Track submenu, select the destination
track you want.
Pro Tools automatically routes the track or send to
the input of the selected track using an available in-
ternal mix bus.
Renaming Track Inputs and
Outputs from the Edit or Mix
Window
I/O path names can be renamed in the Edit or Mix
windows, or in the I/O Setup.
To rename an I/O path in the Edit or Mix window:
1 In the Edit or Mix window, Right-click the In-
put selector or Output selector for a track, and
choose
Rename from the pop-up menu.
2 In the Rename I/O dialog, type a name for the
I/O Path, and click
OK.
Making Track Inputs and
Outputs Inactive from the Edit
or Mix Window
Track Input, Output, and Bus Path assignments can
be made inactive using the corresponding selector
on the track. Making a track’s Input or Output in-
active silences that Input or Output, while retain-
ing all automation and playlist data. For Avid
HDX and Pro Tools|HD systems, inactive Inputs
and Outputs do not consume resources for DSP
mixer connections, but any active assigned plug-
ins on the track continue to use their required DSP
resources. For Pro Tools host-based systems, inac-
tive Inputs and Outputs do not consume host-pro-
cessing resources. Host-based, or “Native” plug-
ins (AAX and RTAS) require CPU resources, and
DSP-based plug-ins (AAX and TDM) use the DSP
available on Avid HDX or Pro Tools|HD cards.
