Can I play along and hear without recording? (Registration question also)

[Shane Cullinane]

can anyone tell me how to hear myself when im playing along with other recorded tracks without recording what im doing? if ive a guitar plugged in to input 1 for example, and the track is record enabled, i cant hear it if i play the track so that i can practice along with it or adjust settings, i have to record each time in order to hear what im doing. im sure there must be a way. im using 001. thanks in advance,

shane.

p.s. i just recently got my protools and i faxed off the registration form a few weeks ago. should i have got an e-mail or heard any thing from digidesign to say they got it? im just wondering incase they didnt get it or couldnt read it and im not registered.

Hi Shane,

You've been using 'auto input monitoring' which cuts off your input on playback. Switch to 'input only monitoring' in the operations menu when you want to audition before recording.

Good luck,
Marc

Of course if you are monitoring through a mixer then you don't need to change modes and the
mixer will give you extra preamps too.
Not trying to get you to buy more gear but I just
thought I would mention this because so many people use external mixers.
I have been using a mixer from the first day I got my digi 001 so I forgot about the setting.
Thanks for refreshing my memory. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
