Assignable Outputs
In the Pro Tools session, new mono and ste-
reo tracks are created for any S3L system channels patched to As-
signable outputs under the
Pro Tools tab in the VENUE Patchbay
patching grid. Tracks are named automatically based on their cor-
responding channel names in VENUE.
Track names are appended with the corresponding output type as
follows:
Track input and outputs are automatically assigned in Pro Tools,
and are shown in the Track I/O selectors.
By default, all track output paths for Assignable outputs are as-
signed to Bus 1-2 in Pro Tools. This routing can be changed.
Importing VENUE Channel Names as
Track Names
You can import VENUE channel names as track names into an
existing Pro Tools session. You can use this option in the follow-
ing ways:
If you have created a session from VENUE, but prior to re-
cording you have changed the names of channels in
VENUE, use this feature to update track names automati-
cally.
If you are working from an existing template that includes
the VENUE channels plus a variety of other channels (such
as effects returns), use this feature to update the
VENUE-related track names without affecting the other
non-VENUE tracks.
To import VENUE channel names into an existing Pro Tools
session:
In an existing Pro Tools session, from the File menu, choose
Import > VENUE Channel Names as Track Names.
Track names are imported the same way as described above (see
“Create a Session from VENUE” on page 265). However, I/O
routing for all tracks do not change, and no new tracks are cre-
ated.

If you have added a channel to the currently loaded Show
file that does not have a corresponding Pro Tools track, cre-
ate a new track, set the input assignment, then choose
Import > VENUE Channel Names as Track Names to import
names.
When you create new sessions in Pro Tools, you can use
pre-formatted VENUE session templates, or you can create
your own template, which you can then use as the basis for
new sessions. See the Pro Tools Reference Guide for infor-
mation on using templates.
