Chapter 18: Plug-Ins 157
3 Click the Plug-In Input selector at the top of the correspond-
ing rack slot, and choose an available bus from the Input
sub-menus.
4 Click the Plug-In Output selector and choose a destination
channel or bus.
When a bus-fed plug-in has both its input source and output
assigned, it appears similar to the following in the rack:
Routing Channel Direct Outs to Plug-Ins
You can route input channel Direct Outs to plug-ins. This lets
you directly feed plug-ins from individual channels to pre-
serve Aux busses for other uses, with control over send level
using the channel Direct Out level control.
When a channel Direct Out is routed to a plug-in, it follows
the one global pickoff setting for that specific Direct Out (as
set in the Patchbay), and is applied in addition to any other as-
signment made for that Direct Out. This makes it possible to
use a channel’s Direct Out to route that channel to both a
Pro Tools recording option and to a plug-in.
Side-Chain Routing
VENUE systems support side-chain (key) processing for
plug-ins that support side-chain triggering.
The Side-Chain selectors appear across the top of the plug-ins
screen. You must be in Config mode to establish or remove a
side-chain assignment. Once established, side-chain routing
can be changed (but not added or removed) in Show mode.
To assign side-chain routing to a plug-in:
1 Select a plug-in that supports side-chain processing.
2 Put the system into Config mode to display the Side-chain
tools.
3 Choose the side-chain source signal from the Key Source
pop-up menu.
4 Choose the pickoff point (tap) for the side-chain signal from
the Source Pickoff pop-up menu.
Adjusting Plug-Ins
Plug-Ins can be selected and adjusted from the console or
on-screen.
On the Console
VENUE Profile provides plug-in controls in the ACS and Out-
put encoder sections for real-time interaction with plug-ins.
Insert Processing
The Insert Processing section lets you bypass, select, and target
plug-ins inserted on the currently selected channel.
