D-Show Signal Routing for FWx

Playback

You can route channels from Pro Tools to D-Show Input

Channels and FX Returns to include pre-recorded tracks in

your mix. You can use this feature to perform Virtual Sound-

checks, use prerecorded click tracks or other material in a per-

formance, or mix down the Pro Tools session using D-Show.

Use the Patchbay>Inputs page to route FWx channels 1-18 to

any available D-Show Input Channels or FX Returns.

To route FWx channels to Input Channels and FX Returns:

In the D-Show Patchbay, go to the Inputs page.

Click the Channels or FX Returns tab to the left of the grid

to display the type of channels you want to use.

Click the Pro Tools tab at the top right of the grid to show

the available FWx channels.

Click in the grid to route FWx channels to D-Show Input or

FX Return channels.

Patching FWx channels to D-Show FX Returns for playback

From the ACS or channel Input screens, assign routing for

each FWx channel as needed:

• Assign to the main L/R bus to include FWx audio in the

main mix of a performance.

• Assign to a Group, Aux, Matrix, or PQ bus for submixing

and monitoring.

You can leave FWx channels unassigned and still monitor

them in the Solo bus and headphones.

To avoid potential feedback loops, make sure no channels

are simultaneously routing to and receiving from any

record-enabled Pro Tools tracks.

Monitoring FWx Recordings Through D-Show

To monitor the recording through D-Show, configure

Pro Tools signal routing to play back the main stereo mix

through two available Input or FX Return channels. In

D-Show, leave the Input or FX Return signal routing unas-

signed and use Solo to monitor the recording.

To monitor FWx recording from D-Show:

In Pro Tools, check the output assignment shown for the

currently record-enabled tracks, as follows.

• If Pro Tools is only being used for recording, make sure

the recording tracks are assigned to an available FWx

channel pair.

– or –

• If simultaneously using Pro Tools to record and play back

audio, check output routing to avoid potential feedback

loops. Make sure record-enabled tracks do not share the

same output assignment as any playback tracks. Assign

output of the recording tracks to a discrete pair of FWx

channels.

In the Patchbay, route the FWx channels to D-Show Input

Channels or FX Returns. See "To route FWx channels to Input

Channels and FX Returns:" on page 13.

Using the ACS or channel Input screens, make sure the FWx

record monitoring channels are not assigned to any D-Show

bus or output, as follows:

• Make sure no Group Bus indicators are lit; press any lit or

flashing indicators to unassign.

• If you selected multiple channels, the LEDs flash to indi-

cate a mixed state of assignments among all the currently

selected channels.

• Press a flashing indicator LED once to reset all selected to

the same setting (usually, assigned). Press again to toggle

and unassign all selected channels in unison.

Using Synchronization and Time Code

with FWx

The FWx Option only communicates audio data between

D-Show and Pro Tools.

If you plan to use Pro Tools as a MIDI Time Code master or

slave, a separate MIDI connection for the Pro Tools host com-

puter is required. Use a USB MIDI interface with Pro Tools,

and connect its ports to the MIDI In/Out ports on the

FOH Rack or Mix Rack.

For complete information on synchronization and time code

features, see the user guide that came with your VENUE

system.
