Global and Local Preferences
Pro Tools preferences are either global (system-
wide) or local (for the current session only).
Global (System-Wide) Preferences
Global preferences are applied to all sessions.
These preferences become the default prefer-
ences for any existing sessions that you subse-
quently open or any new sessions that are cre-
ated.
Local (Current Session) Preferences
Local preferences are applied to the current ses-
sion (if one is open). Local preferences are not
applied to older sessions that are subsequently
opened.
Preferences and New Sessions
New sessions use global preference settings, plus
the most recent local preference settings. The
most recent local settings refer to the last open
session (unless subsequent changes were made
in the Preference dialog from the application
window).
