Quick Start: Using the Source-Connect I/O plugin with Source-Connect Talent
Source-Connect I/O works by routing audio from the track you add the plugin to on your DAW to the Source-Connect input, and then routing audio from the Source-Connect output back to the track.
Within your DAW, you can then send any audio to that auxiliary track that you want to send to Source-Connect. This could, for example, include your talkback microphone, music, or any other audio depending on your requirements. The output of that auxiliary track will contain audio returning from Source-Connect, so you can use a bus to bring that into a recording track (or whatever you need).
Here is a quick and easy two-step process to get the Source-Connect I/O plugin set up on your DAW:
1. Instantiate Source-Connect I/O into your DAW on an Aux track.
In Pro Tools, for example, this plugin is under the ‘Other’ menu, or listed under ‘Source Elements’.
In the image above, you will see that we left the plugin with the name “Source-Connect AAX(1)”. You can name your plugins so you can find them easily on Source-Connect, when you are working with multiple tracks or sessions.
2. On Source-Connect, open the Settings panel (gears icon). Then, in the I/O dropdowns, select the plugin under the Source-Connect I/O section.
