Editing Sends in the Mix and Edit
Windows (Send A–E Views)
Send A–E Views display all the controls of an in-
dividual send in the sends area of the Mix and
Edit windows. These views provide full access to
all controls for that send on all tracks.
Send level and mute can follow Mix groups, to
adjust multiple send controls from a single set of
controls. (See “Sends and Groups” on page 423.)
Sends View Meters
When you display the controls for an individual
send, you also have the option of displaying
send level meters.
Send level meters show peak values and indicate
clipping that occurs while the meter is displayed
(if a send clips any time before its meter is dis-
played, this is not shown). If you are using a
slower computer, hiding send level meters can
improve screen redraw times.
To display send level meters when viewing
individual sends:
1 Choose Setups > Preferences and click Display.
2 Select Show Meters in Sends View and click
Done.
To clear a send meter’s Clip indicator:
■ Click the Clip indicator.
To clear all meters, do one of the following:
■ Option-click any Clip indicator.
■ Choose Operations > Clear All Clips.
■ Press Alt-C (Windows) or Option-C (Macin-
tosh).
Send Status Display
When displaying sends in a Send A–E View, the
Send status is visible directly in the Mix or Edit
windows.
In Assignment View, Send status is displayed as
follows:
• By default, the Send button is grey, to indicate
that it is unmuted.
• The Send button text is red when the send has
clipped.
• The Send button is blue when the send is
muted.
• The Send button is lit whenever a send’s win-
dow is open.
If you use a control surface (such as D-Control,
ProControl or Control|24) with Pro Tools, col-
ored outlines around sends, inserts, and Out-
puts indicate the current controller focus.
