Mic Preamps in Pro Tools Edit
and Mix Windows
After you create a new track and set the track in-
put to an analog input that the PRE output
channel is mapped to, the PRE controls (identi-
fied as Mic Preamps) appear on top of the track
channel strip. If you do not see these controls,
choose Display > Mix Windows Shows > Mic Pre-
amps View.
To create a track with a Mic Preamp
1 Choose Track > New, and create a mono or ste-
reo audio or Auxiliary Input track.
2 Select an input path from the track Input Se-
lector. Make sure you choose an input that a PRE
output was mapped to in I/O Setup.
If the Mic Preamps view doesn’t appear at the
top of the channel strip, you may need to set the
Mix or Edit window to show PRE controls (see
“Viewing Mic Preamp Controls in Pro Tools” on
page 27).
PRE settings can be imported into a session
using the Import Session Data command.
PRE settings from the selected session are
imported into the current session.
