Getting started with the Pro Tools Preferences Window: Collaboration and Synchronization Tab

Working on a new DAW requires the user to “set the mirrors before driving”. This means, you must set the preferences of the software in order to adapt it to your personal needs.

The Preferences Window in Pro Tools lets the user set the behavior of all aspects such as the display, operation, editing, mixing, metering, etc.

On today’s tutorial we will study the Collaboration and Synchronization Tab of the Preferences Window.

 

1. Create or open an existing Pro Tools session:
