ADAT Bridge I/O26
• Insert an ADAT tape. If you have multi-
ple ADATs, there must always be a tape in
the master ADAT.
3 Turn on synchronization or other MIDI
peripherals/interfaces.
4 Turn on the Pro Tools Audio master in-
terface. Depending on your studio setup,
this could be the ADAT Bridge I/O, or it
could be a different Pro Tools Audio Inter-
face.
5 Turn on any additional Pro Tools Audio
Interfaces.
6 Turn on your computer.
Basic Settings
There are several software settings that you
need to configure after installing the ADAT
Bridge I/O.
The following instructions explain how to
make these basic settings. In most exam-
ples, the ADAT Bridge is the primary
Pro Tools audio interface. Using the ADAT
Bridge I/O as an expansion interface has
special requirements which are noted
throughout this guide.
Trashing the DigiSetup file
(Macintosh only)
If you are using a Macintosh computer and
are adding the ADAT Bridge to a previously
installed Pro Tools system, you will need to
throw away your DigiSetup file before you
open and configure Pro Tools. This file is
located in the Preferences Folder which is
inside the System Folder. Restart your com-
puter and proceed with the instructions
that follow.
Configuring the ADAT Bridge for
Pro Tools
To configure Pro Tools software:
1 Launch Pro Tools. Depending on your
setup, one of the following will occur:
• If this is the first time you have installed
and launched Pro Tools software, you
will be prompted to choose the Audio In-
terfaces connected to your system from
the Playback Engine dialog.
• If you have previously installed and
launched Pro Tools, choose Setups >
Playback Engine.
Playback Engine (Macintosh) with ADAT Bridge I/O as
the primary audio interface (note the Card popup
setting “d24 #1”).
Playback Engine (Macintosh) where ADAT Bridge I/O
not the primary audio interface (note the Card
setting “DSP Farm #2”).
