When Pro Tools starts receiving audio, con-
firm the record level. A conservative recording
level is best for live recordings. Try to keep re-
cord level peaks in Pro Tools to between -3 and
-6 dB. Adjusting the fader in Pro Tools will not
affect the record level, only the monitor level.

In the Edit window toolbar, or in the Trans-
port window (
Window > Transport
) click the Re-
cord button to arm the Transport.

When you are ready to start recording, click
Play or press the Spacebar. To stop recording,
press the Spacebar or click Stop.
Recording Submixes
(For FWx, HDx and VENUE MADI)
You can record submixes (also called stems ) by
sending VENUE system bus outputs directly to
Pro Tools. Bus outputs such as Auxes, Groups,
Matrixes, and PQs (if available) give you discrete
level controls for the Pro Tools recording. Addi-
tionally, you can insert VENUE plug-ins such as
limiters or compressors on bus outputs.
For example, adding a limiter or compressor to
the recording output in VENUE can help to keep
your Pro Tools tracks from peaking while re-
cording. Inserting a limiter or compressor to the
tracks in Pro Tools will
not limit or compress the
incoming signal from VENUE. Plug-ins on
Pro Tools tracks are post hard-disk.
On the VENUE System
To record submixes using bus outputs:
1
Make sure the VENUE system and the
Pro Tools system are connected and configured.
2
Assign Stage inputs and any FX Returns to the
output busses you want to record in Pro Tools.
3
Go to the Patchbay page and click the
Outputs
tab at the top of the page.
4
To the left of the channel grid, click the tab for
the type of bus output you want to send to
Pro Tools.
5
Click the Pro Tools tab at the top right of the
channel grid to show the available outputs to
Pro Tools.
Confirming the record level
Use RMS metering on your VENUE system
to get a better idea of how VENUE input lev-
els translate to Pro Tools recording levels.
On your VENUE system, go to Option > In-
teraction page. Under Meter, choose RMS
Ballistics.
