Plug-in Features and Enhancements
Default Plug-in Preferences
In Pro Tools 7.2, you can set a default EQ plug-
in and Dynamics plug-in, which places them at
the top of the Insert selector pop-up menu on-
screen, and first in the list of menu choices
when assigning inserts on ICON work surfaces.
To set a default plug-in:
1 Choose Setup > Preferences and click Mixing.
2 Under Setup, choose a plug-in from the De-
fault EQ or Default Dynamics pop-up menu.
3 Click OK to close the Preferences window.
Enhanced Dynamics III Display
In Pro Tools 7.2, the DigiRack Dynamics III
Compressor/Limiter and Expander/Gate plug-
ins feature an animated, multi-color cursor in
their gain transfer curve displays.
The gain transfer curve of the Compressor/Lim-
iter and Expander/Gate plug-ins shows a mov-
ing ball cursor that shows the amount of input
gain (x-axis) and gain reduction (y-axis) being
applied to the incoming signal.
To indicate overshoots (when an incoming sig-
nal peak is too fast for the current compression
setting) the cursor temporarily leaves the gain
transfer curve.
