Using the Default Audition Path
When you audition a file or region in the Re-
gions List, Pro Tools routes the audio output
through the Audition path. Pro Tools assigns a
default Audition path to the first available main
Output path of the corresponding format. You
can also select a different Audition Path in the
I/O Setup dialog.
Configuring Audition Paths
You can specify the monitoring outputs for Re-
gions List auditioning using the Audition paths
menu.
Audition Path Main Menu The main menu con-
sists of all path format choices available on the
current system (Mono and Stereo on all systems,
LCR and greater on HD-series and MIX-series
systems).
Audition Path Submenus Each path format
choice has a submenu listing Output paths of
that given format. (The mono submenu lists
Output paths of any format.)
To configure Audition paths:
■ Select a path from the Audition path menu or
submenus.
To audition regions in the Regions List:
■ Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Macin-
tosh) the region in the list.
Auditioning Discrete Signals in Multichannel
Items
In the Audio Regions List, multichannel regions
are auditioned through the current Audition
path. Signals can be auditioned “in-place,” or
through all outputs, as described below.
Audition In-Place
When auditioning a mono component of a mul-
tichannel region, that mono component will by
default be auditioned in-place. That is, it will
play from the corresponding speaker channel of
its parent multichannel region.
To audition in-place:
1 In the Regions List, make sure the stereo or
multichannel region is in expanded view (show-
ing .L, .R, and other component channels).
2 Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Macin-
tosh) the region for the channel you want to au-
dition.
Audition to All Outputs
Mono regions can be routed equally to all out-
puts of the parent region’s Audition path.
To audition through all channels of the main
audition path:
■ Shift-Alt-click (Windows) or Shift-Option-
click (Macintosh) on the signal in the Regions
List.
On TDM systems with more than one audio
interface, you can only select the first audio
interface as an audition path.
