Hi Brian,
Here is what I did for routing VoiceOver to my control room
I was considering using an "Digital Coax & Optical Toslink to Analog
Audio Converter"
But went with the most direct clean way to do it..
From my amp closet I split the Audio out from my mac pro quad core
with a Y jack..
Then took 1 side of the audio and plugged it in to 2 direct boxes I
had laying around..
Then took the balanced outs "L&R" out to my mixer in the control room
that is dedicated to VoiceOver Outspoken and all my studio room talk
back Microphones ..
I took a feed to my little powered monitor sitting under my desk and
bang! Job finished..
Since it is integrated in to my rack with all my patch bays I can
route the signal any where between my 4 studio rooms..
No hum!!
The other side of the splitter from the mac pro I just extended to my
computer speakers in studio C for my daily experiments on the PT 8.1..
This way I don't half to boot the whole studio and save wear and
tear on all the other studio systems..
Talk soon

Hi all,
Great news about PT9, but my question kind of relates to Frank's and
routing Voice over.
I'll be doing some work on a HD system over the next few months, and
need to have a think about how I'll route Voice over into the
control room. The Mac pro is inside a machine room just off the
control room, so directly connecting headphones isn't an option,
plus I'd prefer to have it on speakers anyway. One thing I was
considering was using a programme like Jack or some such to re-route
the audio inside the computer from the apple core audio into
ProTools and bring it up on a fader. This way Voice over would
actually appear inside the DAW, and I could have it on a fader on
the desk too to have physical control over the level. The other
alternative I guess is to patch out a cable into the control room
from the core audio's output on the CPU and have it on a small
powered moniter of some sort next to the desk, though I'm probably
going to run into impedance maching problems there.
I know some of you guys discussed Voice over on headphones versus on
speakers before, but if I remember correctly there wasn't something
like this discussed.
Cheers,
Brian.

Subject: Re: Pro Tools 9 confirmation
Hi Frank,
If you don't have an interface connected, the default output is
apparently set to the Pro Tools Aggregate Device. By default,
VoiceOver will come through the computer's output and Pro Tools
will output through the interface. Again, that's assuming the
interface's drivers are installed and the interface is detected. I
seem to be having some trouble with the aggregate device but I
haven't yet connected to the HD interface. I'll test that some time
today.

Hello
Well I didn't really get to write much about my experience with
pro tools 9 as of yet. I finally got it working on Sunday before
I left for NYC. I got to play with it for about an hour after I
got it running. I was able to take a four track recording done on
a zoom h4n and mix it and add plugins. I still haven't figured
out how to do any location setting or editing but this is my first
time ever using pro tools. I will probably be asking lots of
questions once I get a bit deeper in to it.
I am having trouble understanding the audio midi setup to
configure the pro tools aggregate device. I want to have
voiceover playing out the mac book speakers and the audio playing
out the mbx or the echo audiofire. I haven't even gotten the
audiofire configured yet. I will do this some time this weekend.
Next thing is to get a control surface. Any recommendations? I
saw the euphonics mc transport. That looks pretty good. Maybe
that along with the mc mix.

Folks,
Well, I just simply wanted to confirm, categorically, that the
accessibility of Pro Tools version 9 is there, at least as much
as it was in 8.0.4. I just installed it, transferred the iLok
license and, for what it's worth, it's as I suspected but I
didn't want to assume anything. Man, it's weird to run HD without
having the interfaces connected. Very cool, though, if I just
need to do some editing or something away from the studio. I just
unplug the iLok and I'm off. Wow… what a concept.
