Mode
(HDx and MADI with VENUE Software 2.8.5 and
Higher Only)
In Virtual Soundcheck mode, audio from
Pro Tools replaces the corresponding Stage in-
puts one-for-one, and appear in place of those
Stage Inputs in the VENUE Patchbay. All
changes to your live mix (such as channel as-
signments, and input and output processing)
carry over when you enable Virtual Soundcheck
mode. The digital portion of the gain for each
channel is preserved and applied to the incom-
ing signal from Pro Tools. This results in the
same apparent levels for Pro Tools inputs and
Stage inputs.
To enable Virtual Soundcheck mode:
1 Put your system into Config mode.
2 Go to the Options page and click the System
tab to access the System Configuration page.
3 Click Edit.

neath Inputs 1–48 select

select
Virtual Soundcheck from the Input format
pop-up menu.

In VENUE software 2.8.1 and lower, the
mode called HDx Input was the only mode
available for replacing Stage inputs with
Pro Tools audio inputs. It provided all Vir-
tual Soundcheck features. Beginning in
VENUE software 2.9, these features are pro-
vided in two separate operating modes.
