Peace

Ooops, Sorry ole mighty Digi folks:

Found this in the answerbase:

What happened to Low Latency Monitoring?

The role of this feature has been replaced by the "mix" pot on the front your Mbox. By simply muting record-readied tracks in Pro Tools, you can dial in just the right blend of input vs. playback using this pot. The mono button offers additonal monitoring control.

A BIT more CLEAR:
__________________________________________________ __
"mix pot allows you to make a mix between the audio coming from protools and the instrument you play.

Example: you have recorded everything except vocals. Make a nice
headphone mix in protools. record enable the vocal-track and mute it!!!! then with the mix-pot you can make a mix between the vocals and the rest of your music.

They do it like this to make sure you have NO latency issues when tracking - Bastiaan"

So you mean to tell me that when I am in the middle of a fast-paced intense tracking session I have to add the mouse command to unmute the muted record-enabled track to hear it?

I'm all for no-latency but that kinda sucks.

Hey, I'm still waiting for the MBox and will buy one, but that will be a bit on an inconvienence for me.

Oh well...

NZ,

Hey, watch that language [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Where's all the Digi forum police when you need them...

All I can say is, at least Bastiaan was kind enough to explain...

Peace
