Chapter 3: Using Your System 45
3 Make sure that the ADAT tape is format-
ted to the same sample rate as the Pro Tools
material you intend to transfer.
4 On the ADAT, record-enable the destina-
tion ADAT tracks. Make sure that the same
tracks are not configured as Pro Tools input
sources or a feedback loop will occur.
5 In the Pro Tools Session Setup window:
• Set Channel 1-2 input to ADAT (or Ana-
log, if the ADAT Bridge is not your pri-
mary audio interface).
• Set the Pro Tools Sync Mode to Internal.
6 Use the Output Selector of each Pro Tools
track to assign its output (explained in the
previous setup instructions).
7 Put Pro Tools online.
8 Rewind the ADAT to a location at least 10
seconds before the time at which you want
to start Pro Tools playback.
9 Press the ADAT’s Record and Play but-
tons. Pro Tools locks to the ADAT and be-
gins playback. The Pro Tools material is
then recorded to ADAT.
10 When you have finished recording,
click the Stop button on the ADAT.
▲ If you are recording to the ADAT and audio
already exists before the punch point, you may
wish to manually “punch in” to avoid erasing a
portion of the existing audio that you wish
keep. To do this, simply press Play on the BRC
to start the ADAT/Pro Tools rolling, then press
the BRC’s Record and Play buttons right before
you wish to begin recording. Refer to your ADAT
manual for details.
Setup C: Configuring
Pro Tools and ADAT sync
with an MTP AV
The MTP AV has only ADAT Sync, Word
Clock (1x) and Slave Clock (256x) outs, and
therefore has to be the clock master. This
setup requires the use of Pro Tools MIDI
Machine Control (MMC) output capabili-
ties (this is because, with only clock out-
puts, the MTP cannot “listen” to the
ADAT). Essentially, the MTP AV responds
to MMC from Pro Tools, sending ADAT
Sync to the ADAT along with MTC to
Pro Tools.
Configuring OMS/FreeMIDI
The simplest way to configure the MTP AV
is to use the “MTP/Express Console” appli-
cation (included with your MTP AV) to
navigate through the MTP AV’s front panel
via software. FreeMIDI is required.
Make sure the MTP AV’s MMC ID number
matches that set in Pro Tools Peripher-
als/MachineControl window. (Refer to the
Pro Tools Reference Guide for details on con-
figuring Pro Tools to output MMC.)
