Track Position Numbers Stay with Hidden
Tracks

When selected, tracks keep their track

numbers even when hidden. When not se-
lected, numbers are only assigned to tracks that
are shown. In this case, shown tracks are then
numbered sequentially, and hidden tracks are
not numbered.

Tool Tips Display Options

function of the item.

Details

Configures Tool Tips to show the com-

plete name of an abbreviated name or item
(such as a track name). Details view can also
show the hidden or abbreviated value of param-
eters, as well as input and output assignments.

Edit Window Default Length

This preference sets a default length for the Edit
window in hours, minutes, seconds, and frames
(Pro Tools HD or Pro Tools LE with Complete
Production Toolkit or DV Toolkit 2 only). This is
useful if you want to assemble a session of a par-
ticular length or leave extra room to expand the
Edit window’s work area in your session. The
maximum length is 12 hours and 25 seconds at
48 kHz, and proportionally less at higher sam-
pling rates. For best scrollbar sensitivity, set the
length to slightly longer (a minute or more)
than the total session or song length.

“Organize Plug-in Menus By” Options

These option customize how plug-in menus are
organized in the Insert selector or Plug-in selec-
tor.

Flat List

Organizes plug-ins in a single list, in al-

phabetical order.
