Channel Delay Indicator (Pro Tools HD
Only)

Shows the total delay, in samples, incurred

on the track from the use of any TDM plug-ins
or hardware inserts on that channel.

Pan Indicator

The Pan indicator displays the current pan set-
ting of a track. Pan values range from <100 (full
left) to 100> (full right). Pan controls are only
available for stereo tracks or for mono tracks
routed to a stereo output.

In I/O view (Edit window), click the Pan indica-
tor to display the Pan pop-up slider, which can
be used to adjust panning.

Pan Slider

The Pan slider controls the balance of a track be-
tween the assigned output pair. It only appears
if you are using stereo tracks or mono tracks
routed to a stereo output.

The Pan slider on a MIDI track is effective only if
you are controlling a sound module that sup-
ports MIDI panning.

Volume Fader

The Volume fader controls the playback level of
a track when it is playing back, and the monitor
level of the track when it is recording. You can
link the record and monitor levels by enabling
the Link Record and Play Faders option in the Op-
eration preferences.

The maximum fader gain for a volume fader is
+12 dB.

MIDI Volume Fader

If your MIDI sound module supports volume,
the volume fader on a MIDI or Instrument track
can send a value of 0–127 to the MIDI volume
controller.

Real-Time Properties

In the Edit window, Real-Time Properties view
provides access to Real-Time Properties controls
(such as Quantize or Transpose) on MIDI and In-
strument tracks. For more information, see
“MIDI Real-Time Properties” on page 604.

Track Color

In the Edit window, Track Color view displays
the Track Color strip at the left-most side of the
Track controls.

Edit window I/O view, Pan pop-up slider (audio track)

Greater-than-stereo multichannel tracks do
not provide a Pan indicator in I/O view. You
can view and adjust multichannel panning
in the track’s Output window or in the Mix
window.

Send Pan controls can be linked to the Main
Pan controls of a track by enabling the
Follow Main Pan button in Send window.
