    2. GETTING PRO TOOLS READY FOR RTS

    Anyone using RTS must conform to the RTS Checklist:

  • The 'Se ReWire' plug-in is instantiated on an aux or audio track in Pro Tools
  • Sample-rate is the same on both sides (or RTS will be disabled)
  • H/W buffer size should be set to 512 or 1024 for accuracy
  • Session start time should be the same for display accuracy
  • Pre/Post roll should be off
  • Delay Compensation must be off (in general, for Source-Connect use)
  • External clock source is the same samplerate as session (or audio will be distorted)
  • On TDM systems the 'TDM aux' box must be checked on the RTS panel to allow for the TDM Aux delay to be calculated.

    We also recommend the following for the best RTAS performance:

  • 1 RTS processor in Setup->Playback Engine
  • The lowest possible setting for DSP voices

     

    Se ReWire instrument plug-in

    Before using RTS with Source-Connect you will need to instantiate the 'Se ReWire' plug-in.

    1. Create a mono aux track (Pro Tools 7) or audio track (Pro Tools 6).

    2. Insert the 'Se ReWire' RTAS instrument plug-in found under the RTAS->Instruments inserts menu

    It is not necessary to select any output, as no audio is transferred between this plug-in and Source-Connect. Source-Connect uses the ReWire functionality to communicate transport information to and from Pro Tools.
