Multichannel Track Outputs
Tracks can be routed to multichannel output or
bus paths using the track’s Output Path selector.
This provides a multichannel panner and meter
in the Mix and Edit window I/O View.
Additional output assignments can be added by
Start-clicking (Windows) or Control-clicking
(Mac) the Selector tool and assigning another
path.
Multichannel Sends
All track formats, including mono and stereo, let
you assign one or more multichannel sends.
This provides a multichannel panner in the
Sends View. Sends are also useful to bus tracks
for multichannel plug-in processing.
Figure 2 shows a mono audio track with a 5.1
(6-channel) send (View > Sends A–E > Send A).
Pro Tools bussing and submixing features are
available for all channel formats, from
mono/stereo through 8-channel. For examples
of multichannel monitoring, effects processing,
and bussing, see “Mixing with Paths and Sub-
Paths” on page 81. For mono and stereo mix ex-
amples, see the Pro Tools Reference Guide.
