Toggling Multiple Paths
If a track has only one main output assignment,
you can Control-start-click (Windows) or Com-
mand-Control-click (Mac) the track's Output
Path selector to toggle the main output to inac-
tive. When there are multiple assignments, the
track selector will be displayed for you to specify
the input, output, insert, or bus path.
If a Send (A–J) has multiple output assignments
and one of those is toggled, then all of the out-
put assignments for that Send (A–J) will be tog-
gled.

Hardware Setup and Session
Transfer
Pro Tools sessions store the type and order of au-
dio interfaces connected and active when the
session was last saved.
Unavailable I/O
When opening a session, Pro Tools checks to see
if the hardware configuration has changed since
the session was last saved. If the current hard-
ware configuration differs from that saved in the
session, paths associated with the unavailable
I/O are made inactive.
Remapping
Remapping occurs when a session's original
I/O Setup does not match that of the current
system and session paths are remapped to cur-
rent hardware.
