AFL/PFL Path

(Pro Tools HD and Pro Tools with Complete Production Toolkit only)

Tracks soloed in AFL (After Fader Listen) or PFL (Pre Fader Listen) Solo mode are routed to the current AFL/PFL Path, as set with the AFL/PFL Path selector.

The AFL/PFL Path selector is available in the Output and Bus pages of the I/O Setup.

See Solo Modes for more information on using AFL or PFL Solo modes.

To select the AFL/PFL Path output:

Select a path from the AFL/PFL Path pop-up menu.

Selecting None as the AFL/PFL Path disables AFL and PFL Solo modes. When None is selected, AFL and PFL cannot be used.

On Pro Tools|HD systems, if you do not see the AFL/PFL Path selector, confirm that you have installed the Surround Mixer in the Plug-Ins (Used) folder. For information on switching Mixer plug‑ins, see the Pro Tools|HD User Guide.
