Pro Tools AVB Record/Playback
Pro Tools AVB
The S6L system provides direct connection to a computer running
Pro Tools software. No additional audio hardware is required to
connect your S6L system to Pro Tools.
A single Ethernet connection lets you record multi-track
Pro Tools sessions of performances using a variety of S6L system
audio sources, including digital splits of your Stage inputs, channel
Direct Outputs, and bus outputs. You can also play back multi-track
audio from Pro Tools through your S6L system to integrate pre-
recorded tracks with your live mix, or to monitor your Pro Tools
recording on your S6L system. By combining recording and playback
features, you can perform a true Virtual Soundcheck.
