Sample Rate (Playback Engine)

(Avid HDX and Pro Tools|HD Systems Only)

The Sample Rate setting in the Playback Engine determines the default sample rate when you create a new session. This setting is available only when there is no session open. Otherwise, the current session sample rate is displayed, but cannot be changed.

The Sample Rate setting can affect the number of available voices.

You can change the sample rate when creating a new Pro Tools session by selecting a different sample rate in the New Session dialog. (See Creating a New Session.) You can also change the default Sample Rate in the Hardware Setup, as long as no session is open. To make a copy of a session with a new sample rate, use Save Copy In.

To change the default Sample Rate in the Playback Engine:

1 With no session open, choose Setup > Playback Engine.

2 Select the sample rate from the Sample Rate pop-up menu.

3 Click OK.
