Mic Preamps in Pro Tools
Edit and Mix Windows
After you create a new track and set the track input
to an analog input that the PRE output channel is
mapped to, the PRE controls (identified as Mic
Preamps) appear on top of the track channel strip.
If you do not see these controls, choose
Display >
Mix Windows Shows > Mic Preamps 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 Selec-
tor. 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 24).
Mic Preamp Paths
When audio tracks or Auxiliary Inputs are created,
their mono, stereo, or multichannel format is de-
fined. This format determines the Mic Preamp be-
havior. Mono tracks control a single channel, ste-
reo tracks control two channels, and multichannel
tracks control multiple channels.
Using multi-channel input paths
Pro Tools allows you to create multichannel input
paths in the Inputs tab of I/O Setups. When these
multichannel inputs use a physical input which has
been mapped to a PRE output, their controls will
become automatically ganged together when a
multichannel track input assignment is made.
This is useful for stereo-pair miking situations
where you may want both microphones to behave
in a similar manner—for example, gain and phan-
tom power controls affect both channels simulta-
neously.
If you are using advanced miking patterns, such as
M/S pairing, you will not want the microphones to
be ganged together. In this example, you would
want phantom power enabled on the condenser
mic, but not on the dynamic mic. Furthermore, it is
unlikely that they would have the same gain set-
ting. If you need to use multi-microphone configu-
rations and do not want their PRE controls to be
linked, use individual mono inputs and mono
paths.
