Track Path Assignments
(Mix and Edit Windows)
To toggle a track path assignment to be Active or
Inactive:
■ In the Mix or Edit window, Control-Start-click
(Windows) or Command-Control-click (Mac)
the track’s Input, Output, Insert, or Send selec-
tor.
Inactive track path assignments are listed in ital-
ics and are unhighlighted.
Toggling All or All Selected
The Alt (Windows) and Option (Mac) modifiers
apply the path toggle to all tracks. The Alt+Shift
(Windows) and Option+Shift (Mac) modifiers
apply the path toggle to all selected tracks. How-
ever, Pro Tools will only apply the change to
identical path assignments, if any, in the cur-
rent track or tracks. Toggling multiple tracks
only affects tracks that have the same path as-
signment as the one you are explicitly toggling.
Toggling Multiple Paths
If a track has only one main output assignment,
Control-Start-click (Windows) or Command-
Control-click (Mac) the track’s Output Path se-
lector to toggle the main output to inactive.
When there are multiple assignments, the track
selector will be displayed for you to specify the
input, output, insert, or bus path.
If a Send (A–J) has multiple output assignments
and one of those is toggled, then all of the out-
put assignments for that Send (A–J) will be tog-
gled.
Session-Wide Path Assignments
(I/O Setup Dialog)
Paths can be globally configured for Active or
Inactive status in the I/O Setup Dialog.
To globally activate or deactivate a path:
1 Choose Setup > I/O.

the window.
