Default Path Order
(TDM Systems Only)
The Default Path Order Selector lets you select
the default track layout you want Pro Tools to
follow when creating and mapping 5.1-format
main or sub-paths in the I/O Setup dialog.
This setting does not affect existing path defini-
tions or metering—it only specifies channel
mapping in new 5.1-format paths.
To choose a Default Path Order:
■ Select the channel mapping from the Default
Path Order menu.
For more information about multichannel mix-
ing, see Chapter 31, “Pro Tools Setup for Sur-
round.”
Default Output Path
You can specify the default Output path assign-
ment for new tracks, in each available format.
To specify a default Output in the I/O Setup
window:
■ Select a format and Output path from the De-
fault Output Selector.
H/W Insert Delay
Compensation
(TDM Systems Only)
You can specify the latency of outboard hard-
ware (such as effects devices) in the H/W Insert
Delay page of the I/O Setup Dialog. You can en-
ter hardware insert latency, in milliseconds, in a
field that corresponds to every input/output
pair. These times will be used by the Delay Com-
pensation Engine to time align input paths
when a hardware insert is used.
To set an insert delay offset:
■ Enter a value, in milliseconds, in the field cor-
responding with the input where the hardware
insert is connected.
Default Path Order Selector
Insert delay offsets only have an effect when
the I/O is used for hardware inserts.
