Performing a Virtual Soundcheck
In Virtual Soundcheck mode, audio from your external MADI
devices replaces the corresponding Stage inputs one-for-one,
and appear in place of those Stage Inputs in the VENUE soft-
ware Patchbay. All changes (such as channel assignments, and
input and output processing) are carried over when you
switch to Virtual Soundcheck mode, and the digital portion of
the gain for each channel is preserved and applied to the in-
coming MADI signal. This results in the same apparent levels
for both the MADI inputs and the Stage inputs.
To perform a Virtual Soundcheck:
1
Do one of the following to put your system into Config
Mode:
• Press the Console Config switch on the console.
