Chapter 7: I/O Setup 75
Resetting Paths
The Default button in the I/O Setup dialog pro-
vides two primary functions:
•Creates new, default paths up to the capacity
of your system’s available audio interfaces and
resources. See “Creating a Default Main or
Sub-Path” on page 73.
• Resets selected path names to matching or
corresponding paths in the current I/O Setup
configuration. For example, if you change
modes on Digi 001, or replace an audio inter-
face on a Pro Tools HD-series or MIX-series
system, you can use the Default switch to up-
date your I/O Setup definitions with the new
hardware configuration.
To reset path names:
■ Click Default.
If there are matching paths available with the
new system configuration, existing paths will be
updated to include new audio interfaces (TDM
systems), or I/O mode selection (Digi 001 only).
Resetting Mix Busses (TDM Only)
Pro Tools 5.1.3 and higher supports up to 64
mix busses for TDM systems. However, when
you open a session created with Pro Tools 5.0.1
or lower, only 32 busses are initially available.
To make 64 busses available in sessions created
with Pro Tools 5.0.1 or lower:
1 Open the I/O Setup dialog.
2 Click the Bus tab in the upper left.
3 Click Default.
Changing Interface Names
Audio interface names can be customized in the
I/O Setup dialog (Pro Tools TDM systems and
Pro Tools 6.1 on LE). On TDM systems only, the
I/O Setup dialog then bases default Input and
Output path names on the custom names.
To rename an audio interface in the I/O Setup
dialog:
1 Double-click the label above an interface.
2 Enter a new interface name.
3 Press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh).
Deleting Paths
Path definitions can be deleted from the current
session to reflect changes to your hardware
setup, or to clean up track selector menus by re-
moving unwanted or unnecessary path defini-
tions. After deleting a path, any tracks or send
assignments to that path are reset to No Output.
To delete a main path or sub-path:
1 In the I/O Setup dialog, select the path you
want to delete.
2 Click Delete Path.
To delete all paths:
1 Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Macin-
tosh) any path name.
2 Click Delete Path.
Interface names can be customized. See
“Changing Interface Names” on page 75.
