Step 3:
In Pro Tools, go to Setup > I/O > Bus and create the following buses: (stereo) Out 1-2, (mono) ToSC, (mono) FromSC, (stereo) Mix, (mono) Mon.
Step 4:
Create an audio track and name it “Record”. Set the input of the track to FromSC, the output to Mix. place the ROS Latency Detector plugin on an insert of the track and place the ROS Record Mute plugin after it. On this track make, an auxiliary send that is a post-fader going to the “ToSC” bus. Label this track “Record”.
Step 5:
Import or create as many backing tracks as you need (mono or stereo). No track input is required. Make the output the “Mix” bus. Place the ROS Latency Detector plugin on this track. On this track, make an auxiliary send that is a post-fader to the “ToSC” bus. Place the ROS Latency Detector plugin in this track as well and make sure to leave this plugin up. Label this track “Backing Track 1”.
Step 6:
Create a stereo auxiliary track. Solo isolate this track by “command” clicking on the “S” for solo on the track. Place the ROS Monitor plugin on this track. Make the “Mix” bus the input and the output “Out 1-2” or what your main hardware out is. In the ROS Monitor plugin, set the key input to the “FromSC” bus. Label this track “Monitor”.
Step 7:
Create a mono auxiliary track to use for the input and output of our connection. Solo isolate this track by “command” clicking on the “S” for solo on the track. For the purposes of this setup we will use Source-Connect and the Link plug. Place the Source-Connect Link plugin on this track and “link up” this plugin to Source-Connect using the Source-Connect GUI for both the input and the output. Make the “ToSC” bus the input to this track and make the output of this track “FromSC”. Make sure to set the fader to zero and keep it there all the time, especially if you’re using Source-Connect Pro and its Auto Restore/Replace feature. Label this track “Source-Connect”.
Step 8:
Create a mono auxiliary track to use as a talkback input. Solo isolate this track by “command” clicking on the “S” for solo on the track. Make the input to this track your control room talkback mic and make the output of this track the “ToSC bus”. It is important that your talkback has a full closure on push to talk fashion for the best work flow. Source-Talkback works very well in this situation. Label this track “Talkback”.
