dialog in the following ways:
• Bold indicates a connected unit.
• Italics indicate an offline or disconnected unit.
• Underlining indicates that the selected unit is in use by
another Pro Tools system.

ripherals window.

ored outlines identifying each bank of Pro Tools tracks.

cus on-screen in Pro Tools. The bank, track, insert, send, or
other element currently the focus of D-Command is outlined
in the color associated with each unit.
