MIOConsoleConnect makes MIOConsoleX setting saved with your DP project. Whether you wish to save one setting per project file or one setting per sequence within single project file, the best way is to use one of the MasterFaders as the place holder.

Note: To avoid the real MIOConsoleX to keep restarting, you may wish to have it launched before you use MIOConsoleConnect in DP.

Note: For people like me who dislike floating window in general and is too used to switch applications with Cmd+Tab, MIOConsoleConnect offers Conduit Mode via its preferences, which still gives great benefits of saving MIO settings with project.

Preparation steps

This preparation steps, which will be saved as template, are to avoid later confusion and accident such as feedback loop.

1. Open Audio Bundle (Shift+U)
2. Click on Busses tab
   
3. Click Add
   The default is Stereo pair. Even though MIOConsoleConnect does not need to be stereo, I leave it because it is easier to keep things in even numbered pairs.
   
4. RENAME newly created "bus 1-2" to "MIO Dummy" to avoid later confusion.
   
5. Scroll to the right end and double-click at bus 63 so both bus 63 and 64 are selected.
   

Instantiate MIOConsoleConnect

If you need one MIOConsoleX setup saved per project, you should use DP's V-Rack for where MIOConsoleConnect instantiated. On the other hand, I use 4 MIO boxes for mixing with MIO+DSP mix bus, and it becomes necessary to instantiate MIOConsoleConnect per sequence especially when I am mixing for album. In this case, I instantiate within each sequence instead of using V-Rack.

1. Create MasterFader (Ctrl+Cmd+F) where you desire, sequence or V-Rack
2. RENAME MasterFader
   This is very important for me because it is just a place holder and is not really functioning as MasterFader. I would rename it as MIOConsole
   
3. Assign MasterFader's output to "MIO Dummy"
   
4. Insert MIOConsoleConnect as you usually insert effect plug-in on MasterFader

If you wish to use a normal MasterFader for your analog output, you may do so by ignoring MIOConsoleConnect Master Fader

TIP: The MasterFader that holds MIOConsoleConnect, which was instantiated in a sequence, can be moved to V-Rack easily by selecting "MIOConsole" MasterFader track in Track Overview Window first then Project Menu » Sequences » Move Selected Tracks to V-Rack…
