Mic Preamp Paths

When audio tracks or Auxiliary Inputs are cre-

ated, their mono, stereo, or multichannel for-

mat is defined. This format determines the Mic

Preamp behavior. Mono tracks control a single

channel, stereo tracks control two channels, and

multichannel tracks control multiple channels.

Using multi-channel input paths

Pro Tools allows you to create multichannel in-

put paths in the Inputs tab of I/O Setups. When

these multichannel inputs use a physical input

which has been mapped to a PRE output, their

controls will become automatically ganged to-

gether when a multichannel track input assign-

ment is made.

This is useful for stereo-pair miking situations

where you may want both microphones to be-

have in a similar manner—for example, gain

and phantom power controls affect both chan-

nels simultaneously.

If you are using advanced miking patterns, such

as M/S pairing, you will not want the micro-

phones to be ganged together. In this example,

you would want phantom power enabled on the

condenser mic, but not on the dynamic mic.

Furthermore, it is unlikely that they would have

the same gain setting. If you need to use multi-

microphone configurations and do not want

their PRE controls to be linked, use individual

mono inputs and mono paths.

Viewing Mic Preamp Controls

in Pro Tools

Both the Mix and Edit windows can be config-

ured to show or hide PRE controls.

To show or hide Mic Preamp controls in the Mix

and Edit windows:

 Choose View > Mix Window or View > Edit Win-

dow, or click the View Selector in the Edit win-

dow or Mix window, and do one of the

following:

• Select Mic Preamps View to show all Mic Pre-

amp controls, or deselect to hide.

• Select All to display the Pro Tools input/out-

put controls, Mic Preamps, inserts, sends,

and comments.

• Select None to hide Pro Tools input/output

controls, Mic Preamps, inserts, sends, and

comments.
