I/O Setup Options
Pro Tools systems have several additional
I/O Setup options depending on which page of
the I/O Setup you are viewing. These include de-
fault signal routing for metering and audition-
ing, and default track layout for multichannel
mix formats.
Compensate for Delays After
Record Pass
(Pro Tools HD Only)
Pro Tools provide two options for compensating
for input and output latency (due to ADC and
DAC) after recording.
Compensation for Input Delays After Record
Pass
When enabled, this option provides automatic
compensation for any analog or digital input de-
lay with Pro Tools|HD interfaces. Enable this op-
tion for all recording situations. When record-
ing from a digital source, both the Compensation
for Input Delays After Record Pass and the Com-
pensation for Output Delays After Record Pass op-
tions must be enabled.
The Compensation for Input Delays After Record
Pass option is only available in the Input page
of the I/O Setup.
Compensation for Output Delays After
Record Pass
When enabled, this option provides automatic
compensation for any analog or digital output
delay with Pro Tools|HD audio interfaces. En-
able this option when you are synchronized to
an external clock source. When recording from
a digital source, both the Compensation for Input
Delays After Record Pass and the Compensation
for Output Delays After Record Pass options must
be enabled.
The Compensation for Output Delays After Record
Pass option is only available in the Output page
of the I/O Setup.

tation.
