Example: Connection to a Digidesign ProTools System

Pro Tools Setup
Hardware
1. Connect NuVerb via AES to ProTools Digital IN.
2. Connect the audio monitors to analog outputs 3 and 4. (1 and 2 are going to be used as
sends/returns to and from NuVerb.) Note that ProTools allows using either the digital
inputs and outputs or the analog inputs and outputs 1 and 2.
3. If using the expansion chassis, observe the card ordering specified by Digidesign: system
accelerator (SCSI Card), ProTools cards, sample cell cards, NuVerb.
Software
Before you start, make sure you are running ProTools version 2.03 or higher.
1. Start the ProTools application. Open a session, for example, the demo session.
2. Configure the outputs to use 3 and 4 OUT.
3. From the Setups menu:
Under Hardware..., select AES/EBU format, and Digital for CH 1,2 inputs.
When you are done, note that the "Sync Mode" will change to "Digital." — You must
change the sync mode to "Internal." Click OK.
Under Return Routing..., select inputs 1-2 as returns, and press the radio button selecting
"route to output 3-4." Click OK.
4. In the Display menu, select Show Sends and Show Mix Window.
Send 1 and 2 controls are now configured as a pre-fader send to NuVerb. The return from
the NuVerb ( set in step 3) is to analog outputs 3 and 4. Note that Pro Tools does not provide
controls for return level, but this can be set in NuVerb.
