Live Recording and Playback
This chapter provides workflows for the follow-
ing common VENUE and Pro Tools recording
and playback scenarios:
• Creating a Pro Tools session.
• Creating custom session templates.
• Recording the Main L/R mix using Direct
Outs.
• Recording submixes (or
stems
) using bus
outputs.
• Recording digital splits.
• Performing a Virtual Soundcheck.
• Recording audience mics.
Before proceeding, your VENUE system and the
Pro Tools computer must be connected and con-
figured. See “Hardware Connections” on page 5
and “Configuring VENUE and Pro Tools” on
page 11 for more information.
Creating a Session
You can create sessions in the following ways:
• Creating a session from VENUE automati-
cally using VENUE Link (requires Pro Tools
HD 8.1.x and higher, and VENUE software
2.9 and higher).
• Creating a session using VENUE session
templates (requires Pro Tools HD 8.1.x and
higher).
• Creating a session manually.
Create a Session from VENUE
Using VENUE Link
When you choose to create a Pro Tools session
from VENUE, new mono and stereo audio tracks
are automatically created for all patched VENUE
system mono and stereo Stage input channels.
Tracks are also automatically created for any
output busses (including direct outs) or FX Re-
turns patched to HDx or MADI assignable out-
puts in the VENUE system Patchbay.
VENUE Link must be enabled. See “Using
VENUE Link” on page 41.
