Connecting and Integrating External Devices
Pro Tools can create dedicated connections to external analog or digital devices. The number and type of connections depends on what kind of system you have.
To connect an external device to a Pro Tools system:
1 Connect an unused output (or pair of outputs for a stereo device) of your Pro Tools system to an input of the external signal processor.
2 Connect the output of the external signal processor to an unused input (or pair of inputs for a stereo device) of your Pro Tools system.
3 Define what physical ports are routed to Pro Tools input and output ports, as appropriate, in either the Hardware Setup dialog or I/O Setup dialog.
4 Define output, input, or insert paths as appropriate in the I/O Setup dialog.
If you plan to use a device as an insert, be sure to connect the device to matching inputs and outputs on your system. For example, to use outputs 7–8, the insert has to use inputs 7–8 also.
