Source-Talkback

Source Talkback

Bring console-style talkback functionality to your Pro Tools sessions with a simple, inexpensive plugin and free companion app.

Communicate with remote collaborators as clearly and as seamlessly as if they’re in your tracking room—no hardware required.

Way beyond the basic button

Source-Talkback takes push-to-talk facilities to a whole new level: with three modes, definable toggle and latching, listen-back functionality, and compatibility with MIDI devices and external switches. All without the cost of a console or external monitor controller, otherwise required to have talkback.

Take your monitors out of the (feedback) loop

Source-Talkback is an elegant way to communicate with musicians in the live room, or on a remote connection around the world without the complications and audio artifacts inherent in DIY microphone/monitor setups.

Surprisingly simple setup

Define your toggle key using Learn mode, or use the default slash (“/”) key or other options including your  mouse, touchscreen, definable keys, and MIDI input.
Assign Talkback (Aux) to the Aux track that has your microphone input.
Assign Talkback (Master) to your master fader.

Setting up the remote iOS app is simplicity itself, and there are even full instructions supplied in an easy-to-follow tutorial on the app … The new version provides definable ASCI and or MIDI events to trigger the talkback plug-in functions, so you can control your talkback from any MIDI device, or program hotkeys on your keyboard.
