Chapter 3: Working with Real-Time Plug-Ins 13
Organizing Plug-Ins
You can customize how plug-in lists (plug-in
menus) are organized in the Insert Selector and
Plug-In Selector.
Use the “Organize Plug-In Menus By” pop-up
menu in the Display Preferences page to orga-
nize plug-in menus in a Flat List (with plug-ins
in alphabetical order), or by Category, Manufac-
turer, or Category and Manufacturer.
“Organize Plug-In Menus By” Option
Flat List Organizes plug-ins in a single list, in al-
phabetical order.
Category Organizes plug-ins by process category
(such as EQ, Dynamics, Effects, and Delay), with
individual plug-ins listed in the category sub-
menus. Plug-Ins that do not have a Category de-
fined will appear in the Other Category folder.
Plug-ins can appear in more than one category.
Plug-In categories include:
•EQ
• Dynamics
• Pitch Shift
• Reverb
• Delay
• Modulation
• Harmonic
• Noise Reduction
• Dither
• Sound Field
• Hardware
• Instrument
• Other
•Wrapped Plug-Ins
• Effects (Pro Tools 6.9)
Manufacturer Organizes plug-ins by their manu-
facturer (such as Digidesign, Eventide, Line 6,
McDSP), with individual plug-ins listed in the
manufacturer submenus. Plug-Ins that do not
have a Manufacturer defined will appear in the
“Other” manufacturer folder.
Most Digidesign Development Partner plug-ins
will be sorted as Digidesign when view by man-
ufacturer is enabled.
Category and Manufacturer Organizes plug-ins
in two levels of menus. The top menus display
plug-ins by process category (such as EQ, Dy-
namics, and Delay), with individual plug-ins
listed in the category submenus. The bottom
