PRE Guide24
For each declared PRE, the I/O Setup Mic Pre-
amps page includes the PRE path name, and
provides tools to map PRE output channels to an
audio interface.
Paths can be:
• Renamed, for easier identification after
changing or renaming audio interfaces. See
“Naming Paths (Optional)” on page 25.
• Remapped to different input destinations (au-
dio interface analog). See “Remapping Chan-
nels” on page 24.
• De-activated (or re-activated) to manage un-
available or unnecessary I/O resources. See
“Active and Inactive Paths” on page 25.
PRE paths cannot be deleted. Additionally, their
I/O Setup configuration cannot be exported or
imported.
If you have multiple PRE units in I/O setups, the
order in which the PRE paths appear corre-
sponds to the order in which they were assigned
in the Mic Preamps tab of the Peripherals dialog.
Channel Mapping
Existing PRE paths must be mapped to specific
audio interface inputs in the Grid in order for
audio and remote control to be available in
Pro Tools.
To map channels:
1 Choose Setup > I/O and click the Mic Preamps
tab.
2 In the row for the selected path—the high-
lighted PRE name—click in the Grid column un-
der the audio interface and channels to which
PRE is connected. The first output channel of
the PRE appears in this column (as the number
1), while the remaining seven channels fill to
the right.
3 When you are finished mapping channels,
click OK.
Remapping Channels
You can move the individual PRE assignments
to different audio interface input channels.
To remap channels in a path, do one of the
following:
Drag the PRE channel to the new location in
the Grid.
– or –
Command-click the PRE channel in the Grid
to open the PRE Output Channel pop-up menu,
then select an output channel. If you select a
channel that is already in use, the old and new
assignments will swap Grid positions.
PRE path in I/O Setup window
To update the Grid with new mapping,
Command-click a white box in the Grid,
then select an output channel. If the chan-
nel was already in use, the old assignment is
removed.
