Change How Plug-ins Are Listed in Pro Tools

Pro Tools Tip for PC

By TOM BOWSER

Left click on:

  • Setup then Preferences on the Pro Tools menu bar
  • the Display tab
  • on the dropdown arrow next to Organize Plug-In Menu By:
Display Tab Of The Pro Tools Preferences Window
  • Select either Flat List, Category, Manufacturer, or Category & Manufacturer.

I prefer to organize my plug-ins by Category & Manufacturer (see image below). This setting gives you the most information in the least amount of space. The alphabetically arranged "Flat List" can get very long.
