Live Recording Guide 2
HDx and VENUE MADI
HDx and VENUE MADI offer, in addition to as-
signable inputs and outputs, the following ad-
vanced recording and playback features:
Direct Digital Splits
When Stage inputs are the
main source of audio signals for VENUE, a one-
for-one direct digital split of all VENUE Stage in-
put channels are sent to your connected
Pro Tools system. See “Enabling Digital Splits”
on page 11 and “Recording Digital Splits” on
page 32.
Virtual Soundcheck Mode
In this mode, pre-
recorded Pro Tools tracks are the main source of
audio for your VENUE system. Stage input chan-
nels are replaced with inputs from Pro Tools.
You can then make adjustments to your mix
and any changes, including creating and modi-
fying Snapshots, carry over when you switch
back to Stage mode. You can also choose
whether or not to apply input channel gain
changes made while in Virtual Soundcheck
mode. See “Enabling Virtual Soundcheck Mode”
on page 12 and “Performing a Virtual Sound-
check” on page 34.
Input Mode
In this mode, audio from Pro Tools
is the main audio source for your VENUE sys-
tem. Stage inputs on your VENUE system are re-
placed with inputs from Pro Tools. Unlike Vir-
tual Soundcheck mode, input channel gain,
HPF, and other PRE parameters are ignored
(sources from Pro Tools are reset to default, i.e,
taken “direct” into VENUE). When switching
back to Stage mode, previous input channel
gain and PRE settings are restored. Any adjust-
ments made in Input mode are dropped. Use
Snapshots to store PRE parameters before enter-
ing Input mode, then recall those Snapshots af-
ter switching back to Stage mode. See “Enabling
Input Mode” on page 14.
Redundant Outputs
You can install two HDx
cards, two MADI cards, or an HDx card and a
MADI card in an FOH Rack or a Mix Rack and
operate them in a redundant output configura-
tion. With redundant outputs you can:
• Record all 48 Stage inputs, plus any assign-
able outputs, to two independent, 64-chan-
nel Pro Tools|HD systems.
• Record all 48 Stage inputs, plus any assign-
able outputs, to a Pro Tools|HD system, and
transmit the same channels to an external
MADI device.
• Send all 48 Stage inputs, plus any assign-
able outputs, to two external MADI de-
vices, including a Pro Tools|HD system
incorporating HD MADI interfaces.
See “Enabling Redundant Outputs” on page 15.
In VENUE software 2.8.1 and lower, the
mode called HDx Input was the only mode
available for replacing Stage inputs with
Pro Tools audio inputs. It provided all Vir-
tual Soundcheck features. Beginning in
VENUE software 2.9, these features are pro-
vided in two separate operating modes.
All assignable inputs and outputs remain in-
dependently routable and freely available.
