Set up Pro Tools to output to Audio Bridge

1. Enable Audio Bridge in your Pro Tools project:​

  • Go to Setup › Playback Engine
  • Make sure the Aux I/O check box is selected
  • Click OK
  • Pro Tools should quit and restart automatically.

2. Add a Stereo Audio Bridge as an Output​

  • Go to Setup › I/O
  • Under the Output tab, click on Aux I/O
  • Select the Out check box for one of the Stereo Audio Bridge channels (Audio Bridge 2A or Audio Bridge 2B)
  • Click OK

3. Set up an Aux Track for parallel routing​

This allows you to send audio to both Louper (via Audio Bridge) and your local speakers/headphones.

  1. Click on the Window View Selector above your track list and ensure that the Sends A-E and I/O checkboxes are selected
  2. These should now appear as columns on your track list
  3. Ensure the I/O output option for all your audio tracks is routed to Bus 1-2 (stereo)
  4. Go to Track › New and create a new Stereo Aux Input track
  5. For clarity, you can name this track “To LDE”
  6. Then click Create.
  7. In the I/O column for your “To LDE” Aux track, change the Input to Bus 1-2 (stereo)
  8. In the I/O column for your “To LDE” Aux track, add your physical audio setup (headphones / external speakers etc) as the output
  9. In the Send A-E column for your “To LDE” Aux track, add your chosen Audio Bridge (2A or 2B) as the output
  10. A fader should now be visible for your “To LDE” Aux track
  11. Turn the fader volume up and play back your timeline to check that the audio levels are correct.

Pro Tools is now sending a stereo mix of your project to two outputs: your chosen Audio Bridge bus (which can be picked up and streamed by LDE) and your in-suite audio setup for local monitoring.

note

If you’re working with a third party software, like Source Nexus, you can skip the Audio Bridge step above, and add your plugin as the output option in the Insert A-E column on the “To LDE” Track.
