AVIOM system and effects (just one compressor left)!
mix bus outputs
ProTools outputs -> channel strips
Desk preamps -> ProTools inputs
Microphone inputs -> desk preamps
By default, no sound comes to the channel strips – need to patchProTools one-to-one in software after booting computer!By default, no sound comes out monitor speakers – need to patcha group output to the monitor input (in reality we go through 2TR)
