DSP Management Section

(Avid HDX and Pro Tools|HD Systems Only)

These preferences determine DSP management behavior for converting DSP plug-ins to Native and also for the HEAT software option.

Open Unresourced DSP Plug-Ins as Native

When this option is enabled, any DSP (AAX or TDM) plug-ins that exceed the available DSP processing are converted to Native (AAX or RTAS) format plug-ins wherever possible. When this option is disabled, any DSP plug-ins that exceed the available DSP processing are made inactive.

Enable HEAT in New Sessions (Avid HDX and Pro Tools|HD Only)

When enabled, new sessions are created with HEAT enabled for all audio tracks. When disabled, HEAT is disabled in new sessions by default. This option is only available if the HEAT software option is installed. For more information, see the HEAT Software Option Guide.
