Pro Tools Control - Yamaha NUAGE MASTER Ncs500-CT Operation Manual

Pro Tools Control

Introduction
In addition to Nuendo and Cubase, Nuage Fader and
Nuage Master devices can also be used to control Pro
Tools (Mac only; basic functions only).
NOTE
• When working with Pro Tools, up to two Nuage Faders together
with an optional Nuage Master can be connected.
• Nuendo must also be used in order to control Pro Tools. In
addition, Nuendo must be set as the main DAW (i.e., DAW A)
using NUAGE Workgroup Manager.
The following sections will describe the connections and
settings that must be made in order to control Pro Tools, in
addition to the functions of the various buttons. For the
purpose of these descriptions, it is assumed that the
Nuage Fader and Nuage Master devices and Nuendo
have already been fully set up.
Making Connections
Connect the Mac computer running Pro Tools to the
network containing the Nuage Fader and Nuage Master
devices to be used.
NOTE
If the Mac computer in question is equipped with multiple
Ethernet ports, use the first one to connect to the network.
Settings
Installing NUAGE PT Bridge
