Send Format and Track Compatibility
Sends can only be copied to other tracks with a
compatible send output format (mono, stereo,
or other). In addition, the following conditions
apply when moving or copying sends among
tracks:
• When copying a stereo send from a mono
track to a stereo track, Send pan automation
(if any) will be dropped without warning.
• When copying a stereo send from a stereo
track to a mono track, the left Send pan auto-
mation data is retained and the right side data
is dropped. A warning dialog appears for you
to confirm or cancel this destructive opera-
tion.
• When moving or copying a send and replac-
ing an existing send, all automation on the
existing send will be replaced. A warning dia-
log appears for you to confirm or cancel this
destructive operation.
Copying Track Settings to Sends
(Pro Tools HD Only)
Sometimes you need send settings to match the
settings in the track itself—for example, to pro-
vide a headphone mix based on the main mix.
You can copy the current values or the entire au-
tomation playlist from selected tracks to any of
their sends.
Linking Send Pan and Main Pan
Controls
You can link pan controls of individual Sends to
the Main pan controls of their corresponding
tracks. This can help you quickly setup cue mix
(headphone mix) or effects processing bus rout-
ing.
Linked Send pan controls appear in light gray.
To link a Send’s Pan controls to the Main Pan
controls of a track:
1 Click the Send Assignment button for the
Send you want to link to open the Send window.
2 In the Send window, click the FMP (Follow
Main Pan) button.
To change the default FMP (Follows Main Pan)
setting for newly created Sends:
1 Choose Setup > Preferences and click the Mix-
ing tab.
2 Under Setup, select or deselect the Send Pans
Default to Follow Main Pan option. For more information, see “Copying Track
Automation to Sends” on page 916.
