Setting Up the Control Room Channels
Setting Up the Control Room Channels
The Studio tab of the VST Connections window is where you add channels to the
Control Room and configure the input and output routing.
Adding Channels to the Control Room
To add a new channel to the Control Room, proceed as follows:
1. Open the Studio tab of the VST Connections window and click the Add Channel
button.
A pop-up menu lists all available channel types and shows how many instances of
each type are available.
2. Select the type of channel to create.
For most channel types, a dialog opens, allowing you to choose the channel
configuration (stereo, 5.1, etc.).
The new channel is displayed in the VST Connections window. For each audio path,
an audio device must be selected.
Once you have created all the channels for your studio configuration, the Control
Room functions are available for use. If you disable the Control Room, the
configuration is saved and will be restored when you enable the Control Room again.
About the Control Room Channels
There are different types of channels that you can create, each defining an input or
output of the Control Room Mixer. Of all Control Room channels, only the Monitor
channels can share hardware inputs or outputs with another bus or channel. When
you create the connections for the Monitor channels, device ports that are already
used for other busses or channels are shown in red on the Device Port pop-up menu.
If you select a used port, its previous connection is lost.
You can create presets for the Control Room configuration in the same manner as for
inputs and outputs, see
“Presets” on page 31.
!
Note that the port assignments for all Control Room channels except Monitor
channels are exclusive, that is, you cannot assign the same device port to a bus or
channel and a Control Room channel at the same time.
