MBOX Control Software Overview
36
Safe Mode
(Windows Only)
On some Windows systems, the use of a large number of effects can cause Pro Tools or other DAWs to cause high CPU usage, which
can lead to drop-outs during playback.
To avoid drop-outs, make sure Safe Mode is enabled.
Input / Output Latency
(Windows Only)
These indicators provide latency values for MBOX Studio when used on a Windows computer.
Optical Format
The Optical ports on MBOX support both ADAT and S/PDIF formats. Use the Optical Format settings to specify which format you are
using.
Metering
Metering preferences let you optimize MBOX hardware and MBOX Control metering.
Monitor Switching
When enabled, Disable auto-muting makes on-screen Monitor output selection latching (no auto-mute of other outputs). When not en-
abled, Monitor output selection is non-latching (selecting a new output automatically mutes all others).
Headphones
Headphones preferences are available to fold either or both Headphones 1 and 2 stereo outputs to mono. This can be useful when you
are recording talent that likes to keep headphones off of one ear to hear their instrument or voice acoustically. If you had already con-
figured a stereo mix for headphones, folding to mono can let them hear everything they need.
Dim Level
Lets you configure DIM to apply globally (all outputs) or per channel (only Dim the currently selected output).
If drop-outs contiune even with Safe Mode enabled, try reducing the number of Avid FX and/or plug-ins in your session.

MBOX Metering Preferences
Item Description
Pre/Post

independent of fader position. With post-fader metering, the level meters respond to fader position.
Clip Threshold Sets the level in decibels (dB) at which meters indicate clipping (red).
Peak Release Sets how long meter peaks are displayed. Enter a value for the number of dB per second for meter peaks to recover.
Clip Hold Sets how long clips are indicated in meters.
Infinite Hold If you clip, you’re gonna have to look at it for your whole session.
