Default Re: Monitoring SOLO in ProTools with a S6L AVB connection

Hello,

I have not done this on the S6L as I don't have one, but on my Profile I have done this:

In ProTools set the output of all your incoming channels to one stereo output and patch that output to a free channel on the S6L, then globally recall safe that channel on S6L from all automation and send a pre fader direct out of that channel to a free physical output. That way the total mix of every input in your pro tools recording will play to that output. Connect your headphone amp to that output and you can either hear the solo you needed or a complete mix of all your inputs and be completely independent of what the FOH engineer is doing. You can create a pleasant mix for yourself using the Pro Tools faders so that whenever you don't need to solo anything you have a decent mix that does not clip the Pro Tools output / S6L input and is bearable to listen to. You can even use the EQ's and Comp's in PT if you are running a DSP version to make it sound better for you.

By doing this you loose the Virtual Soundcheck option as all channels do not feed back to their original channels but in your case I think it is more important for you to be able to keep an eye and ear on your recording instead.

Hope this helps!
