Chapter 33: Multichannel Tracks and
Signal Routing (Pro Tools HD Only)
Surround sessions typically include a combina-
tion of mono, stereo, and multichannel audio,
Auxiliary Input, Master Fader, and Instrument
tracks, and inserts and busses.
Once the appropriate I/O Setup has been im-
ported or configured, audio, Auxiliary Input,
Master Fader, and Instrument tracks can be
mixed in multichannel for surround using
Pro Tools mixing features.
Multichannel I/O and signal routing is deter-
mined by the paths defined in the I/O Setup di-
alog.
Multichannel mixing is supported on
Pro Tools|HD systems only, and only when the
Surround Mixer plug-in is installed in your plug-
ins folder. In this chapter, all references to
Pro Tools refer to Pro Tools|HD systems.
Multichannel QuickStart
The following is an overview of how to get
started mixing in multichannel for surround in
Pro Tools.
To mix in multichannel:
1
Open any stereo Pro Tools session to remix it
in surround. (You can also create new, empty
surround sessions. See “New Sessions and I/O
Settings” on page 760.)
2
Configure the I/O Setup dialog with multi-
channel inputs, outputs, busses, and inserts, as
needed. (See “Configuring Pro Tools for Multi-
channel Sessions” on page 760.)
