M-AUDIO Pro Tools Recording Studio - Manual (Page 109)

Chapter 7: Preferences 91
Default Dynamics
This preference lets you choose any installed
Dynamics plug-in as the default, which makes it
available for quick assignment, both on-screen
and on ICON worksurfaces (Pro Tools HD only).
On-screen, the plug-in appears at the top of the
Insert selector pop-up menu. On ICON worksur-
faces, the plug-in appears first in the list of menu
choices on the rotary encoders.
Controllers
Edit Window Follows Bank Selection If you are
using a supported control surface with
Pro Tools, this option scrolls the Edit window to
display the selected bank of tracks when you
switch banks on the control surface, ensuring
that the current bank is viewable on-screen.
Mix Window Follows Bank Selection If you are
using a supported control surface with
Pro Tools, this option scrolls the Mix window to
display the selected bank of tracks when you
switch banks on the control surface, ensuring
that the current bank is viewable on-screen.
“Scroll to Track” Banks Controllers When using
a control surface (such as D-Control or ProCon-
trol) you can select this option to bank control
surface faders to a numbered track when using
the Scroll to Track command.
Always Fill Channel Strips When Banking If you
are using an ICON worksurface (Pro Tools HD
only), or other supported Digidesign control
surface, you can select this option to maximize
the number of channels displayed when bank-
ing. This setting optimizes the Bank commands
to prevent the display of a small number of
channels at the extremes of the surface.
Touch Timeout If you are writing automation in
Touch mode and you stop moving a non-touch
sensitive fader or encoder, Pro Tools continues
to write automation for the Touch Timeout
value.
After the Touch Timeout period, writing of auto-
mation stops and the automation data returns
to its previous automation value at the rate spec-
ified in the AutoMatch Time setting.
Automation Section
Smooth and Thin Data After Pass When selected,
Pro Tools automatically smooths and then ap-
plies the specified amount of thinning to the au-
tomation data created in an automation pass.
Degree of Thinning Specifies the amount of thin-
ning performed on automation data when you
using the Thin Automation command, or if you
have selected the Smooth and Thin Data After Pass
option.
Plug-in Controls Default to Auto-Enabled When
selected, all applicable controls of newly added
plug-ins are enabled for automation. When not
selected, the controls of newly added plug-ins
must be manually enabled for automation.
Suppress Automation “Write To” Warnings
(Pro Tools HD Only)
When selected, Pro Tools
suppresses the warnings that appear after invok-
ing any of the Write Automation To Start, Selec-
tion
, End, or Punch commands and then stopping
the transport.
