It typically will default to РІР‚ВLast UsedРІР‚в„ў, unless youРІР‚в„ўve selected a custom I/O the last time you created a session. The key thought was РІР‚вЂњ РІР‚ВWouldnРІР‚в„ўt it be nice if you could leave your I/O labeling and session routing alone?РІР‚в„ўР”Р„n I/O Settings selector is available in the Dashboard when creating new sessions. The only way to really ensure that you hear something is to overwrite your own I/O configuration to mirror that of the session, and even then, you might need to do some additional work in the session to hear the intended output. Some only have stereo outputs, some have surround, and some are used to send the session to an external mixing board. Sessions often travel to different I/OРІР‚в„ўs, of different sizes, that are used in different ways. The next area of improvement to focus on was really how important the flexibility of session interchange is to our users workflow. The question then became, РІР‚Сљwhich busses are safe to get rid of?РІР‚Сњ This led us down the path of making a distinction between session and hardware, which I will explain a bit more later. The original thought was to keep everything all of the time, which created a lot of unused orphaned busses. One of the key things that sparked these changes was the overwhelming large bus buildup that would happen when interchanging sessions between different systems. The product design team plans to share more posts like this on feature enhancements and workflows over time.

What IРІР‚в„ўd like to do here in this blog post, is walk you through the thinking behind these changes, and explain the new behaviors of I/O Setup in Pro Tools 12. WeРІР‚в„ўve received a lot of feedback over the last few years, and it has encouraged us to make some improvements in this area. It has always been a very deep and complicated section of Pro Tools, for both us as developers and for our customers.

The I/O Setup is extremely important in how users interface their Pro Tools software based sessions, with their РІР‚Вout of the boxРІР‚в„ў gear.

I come from a music audio engineering background, but have also been deeply involved in many of the Pro Tools post production workflows for the last seven years. My name is Chris Winsor, and IРІР‚в„ўm one of the product designers on the Pro Tools team here at Avid.
