“Organize Plug-In Menus By” Options
These options determine how plug-in menus are
organized in the Insert selector or Plug-In selector.
Flat List Organizes plug-ins in a single list, in
alphabetical order.
Category Organizes plug-ins by process category
(such as EQ, Dynamics, and Delay), with individ-
ual plug-ins listed in the category submenus. Plug-
Ins that do not fit into a standard category (such as
the Signal Generator), or third-party plug-ins that
have not had a category designated by their devel-
opers, appear in the Other category. Plug-Ins can
appear in more than one category.
Manufacturer Organizes plug-ins by their manu-
facturer (such as Bomb Factory, Focusrite, or TL
Labs), with individual plug-ins listed in the manu-
facturer submenus. Plug-Ins that do not have a
Manufacturer defined will appear in the “Other”
manufacturer folder.
Category and Manufacturer Organizes plug-ins in
two levels of menus. The top menus display plug-
ins by process category (such as EQ, Dynamics,
and Delay), with individual plug-ins listed in the
category submenus. The bottom menus display
plug-ins by manufacturer (such as Bomb Factory,
Focusrite, or TL Labs), with individual plug-ins
listed in the manufacturer submenus.
“Organize Track I/O Menus By” Options
These options determine how track I/O menus are
organized in the Track Input selector, and Send
and Track Output selectors.
Type Displays only the I/O Type (Interface or Bus)
as I/O categories in Track I/O menus.
Width Displays only the I/O Channel Width (such
as stereo or 5.1) as I/O categories in Track I/O
menus.

I/O categories in Track I/O menus.
Language Options
You must have Administrator privileges for the
Pro Tools application Properties to change these
options.
Language Sets the language to use in the
Pro Tools application, independently of what lan-
guage is used by your OS.
Default Automatic Naming to English Causes au-
tomatically named session elements in a session to
be named in English even when working with the
Pro Tools application set to another language.
Auto-Switch Input Language
When the Auto-Switch Input Language option is
enabled, the input language is switched automati-
cally from English to the current OS input lan-
guage when entering text. It automatically
switches back to English for using Keyboard com-
mands in Pro Tools. When disabled, English is
used when entering text regardless of the current
OS input language.
