Every time I start up the D-Command the main output is muted by default. How can I make it start up unmuted?

I have no clue what a D-command is. – Neil Fein Dec 15 '10 at 19:19
@neilfein: It's a Pro Tools control surface. avid.com/US/products/ICON-D-Command-ES – BenV Dec 15 '10 at 19:52
This question should probably have the pro-tools tag. (I don't have enough rep to retag yet.) – Neil Fein Dec 15 '10 at 20:36
@neilfein: Good point. Retagged. – BenV Dec 15 '10 at 20:49

From what I understand this behavior is by design and cannot be changed.

It's to prevent sending sudden spikes of voltage into monitors or amplifiers, and to protect your ears in the case of something like feedback that you didn't expect.

Thanks, do you have any supporting documentation links I could look at? – BenV Dec 13 '10 at 21:03
