Default Re: Save me some time..Please!!

A couple of things....

You have PTLE 7.3.1cs4, not 7.3.4

Secondly There is no need to record to a stereo track. I know that you think that it is, but it isn't. You can process a mono file with stereo fx all you want after it's been recorded as mono. You are doing nothing other than throwing away disk space by recording completely identical mono files in your conceived world of "stereo" recording. ProTools actually only works with mono files anyway, a stereo track in ProTools is just 2 combined mono tracks as far as the disk use is concerned (check your "audio files" folder - there are no stereo files in there, just .L and .R). There are also plenty of "mono->stereo" plug-in effects available within ProTools, and with bussing (after recording) you can acheive pretty much anything, but to do it at the stage of recording is really not worth your time.

Now, if you still insist, here's what to do. Create 2 mono tracks. Give them both the same input (input 1), put both in record and away you go. After the recording if you still feel you really must have it in a stereo track, create an empty stereo track and drag the two mono tracks into it.

As far as your old files from the G4, how did you transfer them to your new system?
