Zoom, Source-Nexus I/O and Pro Tools

This article is part of the Source-Nexus I/O User Guide

One of the most common uses for Source-Nexus I/O is with other audio applications such as Zoom where you want to get the audio in AND out for communications and recording. Follow the steps below to get Pro Tools, Source-Nexus I/O and Zoom linked:

1. In Zoom, choose Source-Nexus A as your audio input or microphone.
2. In the Source-Nexus I/O plugin, choose Source-Nexus A as your Send device, and Source-Nexus B as your Receive device. 
   
3. In Zoom, choose Source-Nexus B as your audio output.

What happens now is that you can bus any signal you want to the Source-Nexus I/O track and it will be sent out via Zoom. And because it uses your audio output choice, this will come back into Pro Tools via Driver B and you can record what you are hearing remotely.
