Chapter 4: Configuring Your Pro Tools System 27
Configuring I/O Setup
Using the I/O Setup dialog, you can label
Pro Tools LE input, output, insert, and bus signal
paths. The I/O Setup dialog provides a graphical
representation of the inputs, outputs, and signal
routing of the 003 family interface.
Pro Tools LE has default I/O Setup settings that
will get you started. Use the I/O Setup dialog
only if you want to rename the default I/O
paths.
To rename I/O paths in I/O Setup:
1 Choose Setup > I/O.
2 Click the Input, Output, Insert, or Bus tab to dis-
play the corresponding paths.
3 To change the name of a path or subpath, dou-
ble-click directly on the Path Name, type a new
name for the path, and press Return (Mac) or
Enter (Windows).
4 Click OK.
