Signal Routing
Pro Tools provides software-based mixing and
signal routing controls, which are located in the
Mix window. Some of these controls can also be
accessed from the Edit window.
A common signal routing task is to submix mul-
tiple tracks to a single channel strip (such as an
Auxiliary Input) for shared processing and level
control. The following example shows three au-
dio tracks submixed to a stereo Auxiliary Input.

separate aspect of MIDI operation. See
“MIDI” on page 12.
