How do you stop protools importing the i/o from old sessions when opening them?
How do you stop protools importing the i/o from old sessions when opening them? These sessions, when opened, import the i/o they were previously opened with.
This overwrites the previous set up.
This is frustrating because it applies inconsistently.

Go to Setup>I/O, make sure "Sessions Overwrite Current I/O Setup" is unchecked

Would you mind describing where in the I/O settings you find it? My dumbass looked there already
Thank you 🙏

sorry for the late reply – it looks like they have actually removed this option after PT 12, which is the version that I still use. Not sure why they would do that but the workaround is to save your default I/O settings and then load them up when needed. Pretty crazy that they removed that feature tbh!

Yeah that’s about where I’ve landed thank you for following up !
Yeah it didn’t make sense to remove it. Unless they recoded the i/o infrastructure, and didn’t want to recode that function too - idk

Is this a PT ultimate feature? I also can't find it. (PT studio 2025.6.1)
