Working with Sends
This section shows how you can assign and adjust Pro Tools sends.
Working with Sends
Assigning and editing Pro Tools sends (Auxes) from System 5 is similar to working with track input
and output. In Pro Tools, each track can have as many as 10 send outputs assigned.
To assign a send on a Pro Tools track:
1 Recall the layout that contains your Pro Tools tracks.
2 Press the Aux key on a Pro Tools strip.
3 Press both Config keys to enter Aux Config mode. The lowest three knobs display the top level of
send choices for Pro Tools tracks (no output, hardware, and busses).
4 Press the knob for the desired type of input:
• To assign no send to the track, press the knob next to no output.
• If you want to send to a hardware output, press the knob next to hardware.
• To assign a bus send to the track, press the knob next to busses.
5 When the desired output choice is displayed, press its knob. If you chose no output, the knobs return
to their previous state. If you chose hardware or bus, the screen displays a list of the available hardware
or bus output paths.
When the desired Output or Internal bus path is displayed, press its Knob.
6 To see additional choices, press the PAGE key.
System 5 hardware and documentation use the term “AUX” to refer to the Pro Tools term “sends.” Do
not confuse references to “AUX” with Pro Tools Auxiliary Input tracks.
