Hi,

I'm using ProTools 8.04 on an OSX10.6.3 iMac with an MBox2 Pro. I'm trying to copy some recordings from my old Tascam Portastudio Porta One 4 track tape machine. I know the phono outputs on the Portastudio are good because everything works OK when I connect it to a tape or CD recorder. However, I have problems when I connect to the MBox2 Pro!

I've connected the phono outs on the Portastudio to the phono in sockets on the MBox2 Pro, but the signal level is very low and the quality of the sound is poor and muffled. I've also tried connecting the direct out phono sockets from the Portastudio to the phono inputs on the MBox2 Pro, but the signal is then too high, way off the scale, and distorted.

I can't alter anything in the OSX Audio MIDI settings because the the options for the MBox2 Pro are always greyed out. Anyone know what the problem might be? Help appreciated.
