  9. Record the source that's on the NEVE
  10. Listen to the outputs of Pro Tools (Can patch Apollo B Outputs 5-6 into the Neve's Ext Source In 1, or can send Neve Channels 21/22 Tape Inputs to Stereo Bus)
  11. Patch live mic to NEVE Penthouse MIC input
  12. Trim mic and check levels in Pro Tools
  13. Explain the Cue function in Pro Tools and where the Cue sends go on the NEVE
