Chapter 2: Installing ProControl 19
For even greater flexibility, wire the
SLATE/DUB OUTPUT to a patch bay. This
will make it easier to switch between
Pro Tools and, for example, a DAT machine
for recording the Slate/Dub output signals.
Configuring this bus for Talkback/Listen-
back bus recording can be done from the
ProControl switches “live” or using the
UTILITY menus. Slate/Dub/Rerecord fea-
tures are explained in Chapter 5: Recording.

About Surround Mode
ProControl offers a multi-channel sur-
round monitoring mode to feed four- or
six-channel monitoring systems.
While Pro Tools itself does not yet support
multi-channel/surround panning, you can
mix and monitor in LCRS, 5.1 or other for-
mats with ProControl. You can achieve
multi-channel output by utilizing
Pro Tools send busses as described in the
following sections.
Multi-channel/Surround Monitoring in
Pro Tools
You can monitor and mix in a type of
multi-channel surround mode directly
within Pro Tools using Sends.
In this setup, Send level/pan determine the
“placement” of an audio track. This tech-
nique works best for static mix elements
(meaning, tracks that stay in one position
in the surround mix field and do not need
to be pan automated).
The next section provides possible LCRS
and 5.1 setups.
Four-channel Pro Tools mix
Example four-channel/LCRS Pro Tools mixer
setup
1 Insert one stereo and two mono pre-fader
sends on every track in the surround mix.
2 Use the stereo send to bus or “pan” audio
to a pair of Pro Tools audio interface out-
puts. This bus will carry the front left/right
channels.
3 Use one mono send to bus/pan audio to
a single Pro Tools audio interface output,
for the (mono) surround channel.
4 Use the other mono send to bus/pan au-
dio to another mono Pro Tools audio inter-
face output, to carry the center channel
signal.
5 For a discrete two-channel stereo mix,
use the Track Output selectors to bus tracks
to a pair of Pro Tools outputs.
ProControl Input Connections: 4ch/LCRS
Connect the front left/right bus outputs
to ProControl Main In Left/Right (Audio
Input 2, channels 7 & 8).
Connect the surround bus output to Pro-
Control Source 1 In Left (Audio Input 2,
channel 5).
Connect the center bus output to Pro-
Control Source 2 In Left.
