Chapter 6: I/O Setup 67
To restore default paths and path names:
1 Choose Setup > I/O.
2 Click the Input, Output, Insert, or Bus tab to
display the corresponding path type.
3 Click Default.
Pro Tools creates all possible stereo main paths.
Mono sub-paths are also auto-created for every
stereo main path. These default path names ap-
pear in a session’s track Audio Input and Output
Path selectors.
4 Click OK to save changes and close the I/O
Setup dialog.
Resetting Mix Busses
(Pro Tools HD and Pro Tools LE with Complete
Production Toolkit Only)
Pro Tools supports up to 128 mix busses. How-
ever, versions lower than Pro Tools HD 7.x and
Pro Tools TDM 6.9 provide only up to 64 or 32
mix busses respectively. When you open a ses-
sion that was created with Pro Tools LE or a
lower version of Pro Tools TDM on a current
version of Pro Tools HD (or Pro Tools LE with
Complete Production Toolkit), only the number
of busses supported on the original system are
initially available. You can reset the number of
available busses to match your system’s full ca-
pabilities.
To make all of your busses available in sessions
that support a lower number of mix busses:
1 Open the I/O Setup dialog.
2 Click the Bus tab in the upper left.
3 Click Default.
4 Click OK to save changes and close the I/O
Setup dialog.
Renaming Paths
Path names can be customized in the I/O Setup
dialog.
To rename a path in the I/O Setup dialog:
1 Double-click the path name.
2 Type a new path name.
3 Click OK to save changes and close the I/O
Setup dialog.
Renaming Interfaces
Audio interface names can be customized in the
I/O Setup dialog. With Pro Tools HD only, the
I/O Setup dialog then bases default Input and
Output path names on the custom names.
Default stereo output paths
With Pro Tools|HD systems, to optimize
DSP resources, it is best to create mono sub-
paths for Outputs and Busses, rather than
mono main paths.
Setting busses to the default setting will re-
name all busses to their default name.
I/O paths can also be renamed directly from
the Edit or Mix window by Right-clicking
the Input or Output selector and choosing
Rename.
