What’s New in Pro Tools 9.022
Sessions Overwrite Current I/O
Setup When Opened
This option determines whether or not, when
opening a session, Input, Output, and Insert I/O
settings as currently configured on your system
will be overwritten by any of these I/O Settings
stored with a session. These settings are always
stored with the session as well as with the sys-
tem.
 When the Sessions Overwrite Current I/O Setup
When Opened option is disabled, Pro Tools re-
calls these settings from the system. The output
bus paths of the session automatically remap to
the system output paths according to certain cri-
teria (see “Path Names and Automatic Output
Bus Remapping” on page 30).
 When the Sessions Overwrite Current I/O Setup
When Opened option is enabled (default),
Pro Tools recalls these settings from the session
rather than the system. The output bus paths of
the session remain mapped to the output paths
saved with the session.
The Sessions Overwrite Current I/O Setup When
Opened option is available in the Input, Output
Bus, and Insert pages of the I/O Setup. Enabling
or disabling this option in one page affects all of
the other pages as well.
When to Enable (or Disable) the
“Sessions Overwrite Current I/O Setup
When Opened” Option for Optimal
Session Interchange
When exchanging sessions among different sys-
tems running Pro Tools 9.0, it is generally rec-
ommended that the Sessions Overwrite Current
I/O Setup When Opened option be disabled. This
maintains your custom system settings and
Pro Tools automatically remaps session output
busses to the system output paths when open-
ing sessions created (or edited and saved) on
other systems.
When exchanging sessions with systems run-
ning lower versions of Pro Tools, it is generally
recommended that the Sessions Overwrite Cur-
rent I/O Setup When Opened option be enabled.
In this case, any custom settings saved with the
session that do not match your system may need
to be reconfigured in the I/O Setup.
Enable the Sessions Overwrite Current I/O
Setup When Opened option for legacy
Pro Tools behavior (versions lower than
9.0). This option is enabled by default.
