Figure 13.46: Mapping to DAW 1-16

The 16 DAW channels from Pro Tools are routed to a stereo bus. Every channel and bus can have Character,
our exclusive analog emulation. You can use it to “heat” up your mixes!

The stereo bus is routed to FW 1/2, which will send it back onto Pro Tools. This will allow you to record the
stereo master back into the session.

Aggregates and Multitrack

Pro Tools has a few things to be aware of when working with multiple interfaces:

• You are limited to 32 I/O channels
• They are always the first32 channels of any device or aggregate
• Metric Halo interfaces provide 18 channels of I/O between the computer and the interface; on LIO-8

and ULN-8 interfaces, channels 19/20 are reserved for timecode and do not transport audio

Given these limitations, how can you record and playback 24 tracks? It's not difficult with a little configuration.
Let's say you wanted to use 24 channels of ULN-8:
