This article will guide you through the steps required to configure both your DAW and Console software to send audio from your DAW to Virtual Channels in Console. One common use for this configuration would be to setup a discrete low-latency headphone mix with UAD processing - audio can be sent from the DAW into Virtual Channels in Console where UAD plug-ins can be applied, and from there the signal can be sent to a Cue send or output along with the live input channels to create a custom headphone mix.
Now that you've setup a Send from your DAW to feed Virtual Channels 1/2 in Console, open Console and you should see signal on the VIRTUAL 1/2 channel meters when playing back from the DAW. Stereo link Virtual Channels 1 & 2 by clicking on the name at the bottom of either Virtual Channel and clicking "Link". UAD plug-ins can now be added to the inserts on the Virtual Channels, and the Virtual Channels can be routed to a Cue send or output via the Sends panel. In the example below, we're using an Apollo Twin and routing the VIRTUAL 1/2 channel to the Line 3/4 outputs - the VIRTUAL 1/2 channel is muted so that the signal will only be heard via the Line 3/4 outputs and not via the Monitor L/R outputs (which are being fed by the DAW's master bus). Live inputs can also be added to this mix by routing them to the Line 3/4 outputs via the Sends panel on each corresponding input channel in Console.
