Opening Multiple Plug-In Windows
To reduce screen clutter, Pro Tools normally displays
a single Plug-In window from which you
can edit the parameters of any plug-in in a session.
If you want, however, you can open additional
Plug-In windows for specific plug-ins.
Once you begin working with multiple Plug-In
windows, you will need to click the Target button
on the plug-in whose parameters you want
to edit using keyboard commands.
To open a Plug-In window for a specific plug-in:
■ In the Mix window, Shift-click the Insert button
of the desired plug-in.
