Configuring HD OMNI in Pro Tools

This chapter explains how to configure
Pro Tools for use with HD OMNI.

Pro Tools Hardware Setup

The Pro Tools Hardware Setup dialog lets you
configure HD OMNI for use with Pro Tools. It
also lets you configure some of the same settings
as in Setup mode on HD OMNI (see Chapter 5,
“SETUP Mode”).

In addition to the standard Main, Analog In,
and Analog Out tabs, the Hardware Setup dialog
provides the Monitor and Mixer tabs that are
unique to HD OMNI. Note that all HD OMNI
specific hardware settings (except labels) are
stored in HD OMNI itself.

To configure HD OMNI in Pro Tools:

1

Choose

Setup > Hardware

.

2

From the Peripherals list, select the HD OMNI

audio interface.

3

Click the

Monitor

tab and configure the op-

tions (see “Monitor” on page 29).

4

Click the

Main

tab and configure the options

(see “Main” on page 26).

5

Click the

Analog In

tab and configure the op-

tions (see “Analog In” on page 28).

6

Click the

Analog Out

tab and configure the op-

tions (see “Analog Out” on page 28).

7

Click the

Mixer

tab and configure the options

(see “Mixer” on page 37).

8

Continue by configuring any other HD audio

interfaces connected to your system.

9

When you are finished, click

OK

.

You can validate the successful installation
of HD OMNI in your Pro Tools system sim-
ply by playing back and recording audio in
Pro Tools. This can be accomplished with-
out having to adjust Hardware and I/O set-
tings in Pro Tools. In most cases, the default
settings work well for stereo sessions.

For more information about configuring
Pro Tools, see the Pro Tools Reference Guide.

Because the Monitor configuration affects
the available Output paths, be sure to con-
figure the Monitor page before configuring
the other pages in the Hardware Setup and
the I/O Setup.
