To move a send:
 Drag the send name to a new position in the
original track or in a different track.
To copy a send:
 Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac) the
send to a new position.
Moving or copying a send maintains all routing
assignments, automation, level/pan/mute set-
tings, and output format.
Send Format and Track Compatibility
Sends can only be copied to other tracks with a
compatible send output format (mono, stereo,
or other). In addition, the following conditions
apply when moving or copying sends among
tracks:
• When copying a stereo send from a mono
track to a stereo track, Send pan automation
(if any) will be dropped without warning.
• When copying a stereo send from a stereo
track to a mono track, the left Send pan auto-
mation data is retained and the right side data
is dropped. A warning dialog appears for you
to confirm or cancel this destructive opera-
tion.
• When moving or copying a send and replac-
ing an existing send, all automation on the
existing send will be replaced. A warning dia-
log appears for you to confirm or cancel this
destructive operation.
Copying Track Settings to Sends
(Pro Tools HD and Pro Tools with Complete
Production Toolkit 2 Only)
Sometimes you need send settings to match the
settings in the track itself—for example, to pro-
vide a headphone mix based on the main mix.
You can copy the current values or the entire au-
tomation playlist from selected tracks to any of
their sends.
Linking Send Pan and Main Pan
Controls
You can link pan controls of individual Sends to
the Main pan controls of their corresponding
tracks. This can help you quickly setup cue mix
(headphone mix) or effects processing bus rout-
ing.
Linked Send pan controls appear in light gray.

Automation to Sends” on page 1016.
