That's all there is to it! By default, I also enable a stereo master fader for the 2mix bus - but if my levels and gain staging are good, I should never have to touch it. Rule #3: NEVER EVER send anything directly to the hardware (except the 2mix aux) - if you want to hear it, it must go to 2mix, UNLESS YOU HAVE A GOOD REASON to do so (see rule #1). Call it "2MIX" Input source: "2mix" bus, output hardware outs (so you can hear it, most would use "analog 1-2" or whatever you use to get to your control room monitors).
Set this as the default output for all mono and/or stereo tracks in your I/O. It's really quite simple - and many have posted identical routings over the years. So, Jeremy, can you clarify how you set up your mixing scheme vis a vis master faders and auxes? Read all about it here: The Pro Tools 48-Bit Mixer Remember, the real master fader inserts are post-fader, and aux inserts are pre-fader. You can then use the real "master fader" to do what it does best - and use the aux to do what it does best. and your "master fader" is no longer a "master fader", but rather, an aux. Then you can bus to an aux and assign outputs, etc.
If you are not mixing to a bus, please consider this workflow. Many "engineers" do not understand how the protools mixer is built, so they make mixer and routing choices that are not optimized for protools. When you "add a track" and select "master fader" for a bus or physical output, you are simply making the master fader visible. It is always there, you just can't see it, as it is "hidden" by default. A master fader, by default, is automatically (ALWAYS) created by the software, for every bus and every output, and is set to unity. Time to clarify some protools terminology.Ī "master fader" is never "created".
