Hey RO'ers, I have been working with PT for over a year and have fell in love with the software. My question is in regards to assigning inputs and outputs in the I/O Dialog box? I usa a few of the plugins that came with PT in damn near all of my sessions and was wondering how to go about assigning the paths to buses of the plugs that I use most often? I usually have a session set up with three aux inputs; one with a Compressor, another with an EQ, and another with a Reverb; all are on buses 1-2,3-4,5-6 respectively. I would like to assign these to their own path in a session template, so does anyone know how I would go about doing this? Or is there anyone who has assigned input paths within the program itself? I am asking because I have been having a problem lately with the computer telling me that I am running out of CPU power and need to remove some plugs. As I said before I use the same plugs in all of my sessions and I only get this error message in a few sessions. I am trying to configure my sessions to match my studio configuration. Thanks for any suggestions and guidance in advance, and if you like music (especially hip hop ) check out some of our tracks at http://www.audiostreet.net/battlegroundrecordz, maybe we can convert you into one of our fans. :lol:

steve's suggestion is bang on.
i'm just a little surprised though that you have a compressor and eq on an aux. I'm curious to know: are they on a send-return mode, or are you routing out the outputs of your tracks onto these 3 buses/auxes?
rnx, I usually route all of my vocal tracks to these buses, I r
rnx,
I usually route all of my vocal tracks to these buses, I record the vocals dry and then use the buses to apply EQ, Compression and Reverb. I usually adjust the faders on the sends (from the vocal tracks) until I "hear" a change in the overall sound. I never use the effects as returns, but I wonder what would happen if I did. This seems to work wonders for me when it comes to getting the vocals to where I think they should sound. I also use panning on the sends. I don't know if I am doing this right, but it works for me when I want to hear the lead, doubles, and adlibs. I'm a novice at recording and mixing, but this is what I have ended up doing after a year of experimenting and it has worked so i continue to keep doing it this way. I hope that explains what I use them for.

Are you just wondering how to set things up in the the I/O setup
Are you just wondering how to set things up in the the I/O setup and save it for use in a template?
Best thing to do is setup your I/O reflecting your studio configuration and naming nomenclature, and export this I/O setup for recall later on. Then use this I/O setup and create a session template with the tracks, plugins, aux inputs, etc that you use on a regular basis.
