Pro Tools Reference Guide 88
DestructivePunch File Length (Pro Tools HD

This preference sets the duration of consoli-
dated audio files when preparing tracks for De-
structivePunch mode. The default value for this
setting is 25 minutes.
Misc (Miscellaneous) Section
Show Quick Start Dialog When Pro Tools
Starts
When selected, Pro Tools shows the Ses-
sion Quick Start dialog on launch.
Auto Region Fade In/Out Length (Pro Tools HD
Only)
Sets a default length for fade-ins and fade-
outs automatically applied to region bound-
aries. Using automatic fade-ins and fade-outs
saves you the trouble of editing to zero-crossings
or creating numerous rendered fades in order to
eliminate clicks or pops in playback. Autofades
are not written to disk. Value range is from 0–10
ms for the Auto Region Fade In/Out Length setting.
A value of zero means that no auto-fading will
occur. The Auto Fade value is saved with the ses-
sion, and is automatically applied to all free-
standing region boundaries until you change it.
Calibration Reference Level (Pro Tools HD
Only)
Sets a default calibration reference level in
dB when Pro Tools is in Calibration mode. For
audio interfaces that have trims (such as the
192 I/O), see the interface’s guide for calibration
instructions.
Delay Compensation Time Mode (Pro Tools HD
Only) This option lets you choose whether infor-
mation in the Delay Manager is displayed in
milliseconds or samples. This option is only
available when Delay Compensation is enabled
(Options > Delay Compensation).

User Time Stamp. This option helps you com-
pare different sections from a group of related
takes.
