Large Console Monitoring Sections
 
In traditional analog studios, the audio console maintained control over 
every audio signal in the studio, including the control room monitors, 
headphone systems, external 2-track tape machines and communica-
tions such as the talkback system.
The console itself provided a means of creating multiple cue mixes for 
performers in the studio. Using available aux sends, the engineer 
could create multiple cue mixes for...

The Concept
 
The concept behind creating the Control Room features was to divide 
the studio environment into the performing area (studio) and the engi-
neer/producer area (control room) common to traditional studios. Pre-
viously, an analog console or some method of speaker control and 
monitor routing was necessary to provide this functionality to the DAW 
environment. DAW software had not yet become fully integrated into a 
larger studio scenario until the...

• Studios
 
Studio channels are intended for sending cue mixes to performers in the studio during 
recording. They have talkback and click track functions and can monitor the main mix, 
external inputs or a dedicated cue mix. Up to four Studios can be created allowing four 
discrete cue mixes for performers.
 
• External Inputs

recorders or any other source audio source. Up to...

To create a new channel, click on the Add channel button in the Studio 
Tab of the VST Connections window. All available channels will be 
listed along with how many of each type are available. Select the type

Monitors
 
Create a Monitor channel for every set of speakers in your studio. A 
typical post-production studio could have one set of 5.1 surround 
speakers, another stereo set of speakers and even a single, mono 
speaker for checking balances for mono broadcast. The Control Room 
Mixer will allow you to switch speakers easily. Each set of Monitors can 
have its own custom downmix settings, Input Gain and Input Phase 
adjustments. 
Phones

Talkback
Create a Talkback channel if you have a microphone in the control 
room available for communication with performers in the studio. The 
Talkback can be routed to each Studio channel with variable levels in 
order to optimize communications between the control room and per-
formers.
Additionally, the Talkback is available as a possible input source for 
Audio tracks. You can record from the Talkback just like any other 
VST Input.
Inserts are available on the...
