Assignable Outputs In the Pro Tools session, new mono and ste-
reo tracks are created for any S3L system channels patched to Assignable outputs under the Pro Tools tab in the VENUE Patchbay
patching grid. Tracks are named automatically based on their corresponding channel names in VENUE.
Importing VENUE Channel Names as
Track Names
You can import VENUE channel names as track names into an
existing Pro Tools session. You can use this option in the following ways:
• If you have created a session from VENUE, but prior to recording you have changed the names of channels in
VENUE, use this feature to update track names automatically.
Stereo Direct
Outs
• If you are working from an existing template that includes
the VENUE channels plus a variety of other channels (such
as effects returns), use this feature to update the
VENUE-related track names without affecting the other
non-VENUE tracks.

If you have added a channel to the currently loaded Show
file that does not have a corresponding Pro Tools track, create a new track, set the input assignment, then choose
Import > VENUE Channel Names as Track Names to import
names.

S3L System Guide

In an existing Pro Tools session, from the File menu, choose
Import > VENUE Channel Names as Track Names.
Track names are imported the same way as described above (see
“Create a Session from VENUE” on page 265). However, I/O
routing for all tracks do not change, and no new tracks are created.
When you create new sessions in Pro Tools, you can use
pre-formatted VENUE session templates, or you can create
your own template, which you can then use as the basis for
new sessions. See the Pro Tools Reference Guide for information on using templates.
