FWx Virtual Soundcheck
With FWx, you can perform the equivalent of a
Virtual Soundcheck using Snapshots to store
and recall console settings. Create one Snapshot
to store the settings with Stage inputs active,
and another to store the settings with Pro Tools
inputs active.
Because Pro Tools input gains will be different
from Stage input gains, you also scope and store
PRE settings–which include channel input gain
settings–in both Snapshots.
This way, you can adjust input gains for Pro
Tools inputs to approximate the input gains for
the Stage inputs, and then store those settings in
the Pro Tools Snapshot. When you recall the
Snapshot with Stage inputs active, your Stage in-
put gain settings are restored.
When you want to do another soundcheck at a
later time using the same inputs, input gain set-
tings are restored by recalling the Snapshot with
Pro Tools inputs active.
No other parameters are stored, however, so any
changes made in either Snapshot carry over
when switching between the two Snapshots.
This lets you work on channel and system EQ,
dynamics, and effects using Pro Tools tracks,
and have the changes carry over to your live
mix.
On the VENUE System
