Pro Tools Reference Guide46
The I/O Setup Dialog
The I/O Setup dialog defines Pro Tools input, output, insert, and bus paths. Routing I/O ports to
Pro Tools inputs and outputs can also be done here.
To open the I/O Setup dialog:
1 Make sure your audio interfaces are enabled
and configured properly in the Hardware Setup.
See “Configuring Pro Tools Hardware Settings”
on page 38.
2 Choose Setup > I/O.
To open the Input, Output, Insert, Bus, Mic
Preamps (Pro Tools HD only), or H/W Insert Delay
page (Pro Tools HD only) in the I/O Setup dialog:
■ Click the corresponding tab at the top of the
I/O Setup dialog.
Closing the I/O Setup Dialog
You can click Cancel at any time to close the
I/O Setup dialog without saving any changes.
When you click OK, Pro Tools checks several set-
tings for routing validity (to prevent feedback
loops). If there are any overlapping or invalid
settings, you will be required to correct them be-
fore the I/O Setup dialog will close. For more in-
formation, see “Setting the I/O Setup” on
page 54.
