Goin Crazy
Hey All
Feel free to laugh cos I've been laughing at myself for weeks , Pro Tools novice totally racking my brains out here and dunno whats goin on. Recently set up Pro Tools-8.03 on the new iMac 27 quad and running it through a 003 Rack. For some reason I just can't record sound. I've done things by the manual , watched youtube vids , everything. I plug my guitar into the jack spot 1 on the back of the rack. Then I do the whole set up thing , making the i/o settings analog 1/analog 1/2 respectively. I have sound thru monitors/phones whatever but when i hit record it does'nt do anything. I've uninstalled and re-installed , updated the firmware on the rack , and I thought maybe it was a fault in either the rack or just my general novice work. I then updated the drivers online for my Edirol pcr-m30 midi controller keyboard. I went through the same things , set it all up and played it and it recorded straight away just fine. That confused me even more. Please if anyone can give me a shove in the right direction or a bullet..... it would be greatly appreciated. p.s. Having the same problem trying to record drums with a roland kit and vocals. Getting sound but it just won't record.... |

Re: Goin Crazy
What does it do when you hit record exactley??
Does it just stop, or record some silence, or give an error message, or go into playmode??? D |

Re: Goin Crazy
2 possibilities come to mind; 1-you are trying to record to an Instrument track(Instrument tracks are for Virtual Instruments, you should record AUDIO to AUDIO tracks), or 2-you have engaged Input Only monitoring(look at the transport buttons at the top of the edit window. if you see a little green "light" just to the right, you have). Hit Alt-K to switch back to Auto-input monitoring.

Re: Goin Crazy
I know it may seem obvious but once you've pressed record, you do press the play button as well ????

Re: Goin Crazy
Make shure you plug it into the DI input and turn up the input level.

Re: Goin Crazy
Make sure the mic/line switch is on line and not mic!
Als make sure your plugged in to the line inputs below the XLR and not the analogue outs.
