Pro Tools™
Your Pro Tools software provides a standard interface for controlling various aspects of AAX plug-ins. While
you should refer to your Pro Tools documentation for a complete description, we will summarize the most
important points here.
If you wish to use TransientControl on multiple channels in your mix, you can ⌥ (Option) insert Transient-
Control on selected mix channels and ensure that TransientControl is inserted on the same insert point on
each channel (e.g. ensure that TransientControl is on insert “a” for every channel). This will allow you to take
advantage of a number of time saving features provided by Pro Tools.
Plug-in Window
The illustration below shows the standard Pro Tools plug-in window.
Figure 4.1: Pro Tools Plug-in Window
If you have inserted TransientControl as we suggested above you can click on the channel name popup in the
upper left hand corner of the window (labeled “Audio 1” above) to switch from channel to channel.
The next popup in the window (labeled “a” above) allows you to switch to another insert on the same channel.
You would use this to switch to another plug-in on the same channel.
The bypass button allows you to bypass the effects of TransientControl.
The Pro Tools editor/librarian button (the small downward pointing triangle) provides access to a popup menu
that allows you to manage presets and libraries of setting for TransientControl. Use this menu to save libraries
or open groups of libraries. See your Pro Tools documentation for more information.
The preset library popup menu (labeled “factory default” above) shows the active preset name (in italics if the
current settings do not match the library). Click this popup to select from the available presets.
The “Compare” button indicates when the controls have changed for the current preset settings. Click this
button to toggle between your current settings and the preset settings.
