New Sub-Path Row Settings
Number of New Sub-Paths Enter the number of
new sub-paths you want to create for the selected
main path.
Sub-Path Format Select the channel width from
the Path Format selector.
Sub-Path Name Enter the sub-path name. If you
are creating more than one sub-path, the number of
each new sub-path will be appended to the sub-
path name (for example, Bus 1, Bus 2, Bus 3, and
so on).
Add/Remove Rows Click the Add Row button to
add more paths, or click Click the Remove Row
button to remove paths.
Move Row Icon Drag a Move Row icon up or
down to reorder paths.
Add Default Channel
Assignments Option
(Input, Output, and Insert Sub-Paths Only)
Enable Add Default Channel Assignments option if
you want Pro Tools to automatically assign input,
output, and insert sub-paths to physical inputs and
outputs in the Grid (from the first available channel
to the maximum number of channels available). If
the number of new sub-paths of a certain width ex-
ceeds the number of available channels, Pro Tools
wraps around and starts over the first physical in-
put or output of your audio interface.
Create Default Sub-Paths Option
(Bus Sub-Paths Only)
Pro Tools lets you create the default sub-paths for
busses in the New Sub-Path dialog when accessed
from the Bus page. Enable the
Create Default Sub-
Paths
option to have Pro Tools automatically cre-
ate the default set of sub-paths for the path format
(channel width) of the selected main bus path, as
shown in the following table.
