When setting up Pro Tools with Apollo, the I/O Setup of Pro Tools may require close attention.
The routing between UAD Console and Pro Tools must match for all inputs and outputs. This is especially critical for Thunderbolt Apollo systems that use a Custom I/O Matrix in Console Settings.

Note: The I/O Matrix is available only when using a Thunderbolt connection. For Apollo devices without Thunderbolt, see Driver I/O Tables in the Apollo Software Manuals.
Resetting the Pro Tools I/O Setup
Reset the I/O Setup of Pro Tools to populate the current routing configuration from UAD Console into Pro Tools.
Important: When Custom changes are made in I/O Matrix of Console Settings, those changes will not reflect automatically in Pro Tools. Follow the process below to Reset the I/O Setup of Pro Tools.
- Make sure Apollo is selected under Playback Engine of Pro Tools using the Universal Audio driver.
- Visit Avid's Knowledge Base article on How to Reset the I/O Settings in Pro Tools.
- Be sure to repeat for Input, Output, and Bus sections of the I/O Setup if necessary.
Note: If additional changes are made in the I/O Matrix of Console Settings after this process, the I/O Setup of Pro Tools must be reset or re-configured again to reflect those changes.
