Using I/O Setup

To avoid having to re-patch, remap your 5.1 for-
mat paths in the Pro Tools I/O Setup dialog. If 
you connected your system as shown in “5.1 
Monitoring Example” on page 28, remap all 
paths to the SMPTE/ITU standard (L R C LFE Ls 
Rs). If you connected your system according to 
one of the other 5.1 formats described in “Sur-
round Monitoring Mode Connections” on 
page 25, remap your paths to the corresponding 
track layout for Film or DTS format. 

LCRS paths can be left at their default mapping 
(LCRS), or remapped in the I/O Setup dialog. If 
you want to work in LCRS and 5.1 simulta-
neously, map LCRS paths to follow that of your 
5.1 paths. 

To map for LCRS and 5.1 monitoring:

Remap LCRS Output paths to the following:

For more information about the I/O Setup dia-
log and surround mixing, see the 
Pro Tools Reference Guide. 

Reconnecting

It is not always possible to remap paths in the 
I/O Setup dialog, as professional requirements 
for professional surround mixing demand cor-
rect track layout. When your project requires a 
specific format’s track layout, you may need to 
physically re-patch your audio interface, Con-
trol|24, and monitor connections. See “Sur-
round Monitoring Mode Connections” on 
page 25 for a listing of connections for each for-
mat. 

If your projects require you to re-patch, consider 
utilizing a patchbay to simplify the task of re-
connecting for different modes.
