Io

Does anybody mess with the IO settings(.pio) For example add more lanes to buses or rename buses...ect? If you do, please explain what you do, and why?

renaming should be self explanatory...so you can label the paths.

It's more common in the larger studios to move paths around. Especially if you're working with surround sound or have several different monitoring paths. You may also have external gear you're working with too. Basically it's just a flexible way to send your audio signal out the interface and controlling it all in Pro Tools. Think of it as sort of a mini patchbay.

Yes I have a few different I/O settings depending on what configuration I'm using the studio in.

One has all the preamps going straight into pro tools, and output 1-2 feeding straight to the Central Station, the other has all the desk's busses routed to PT and all the output's mult'd out onto separate tracks on the desk.
