Pro Tools Will Not Play or Record
Hi
Ever since I up graded my software to 20 12 I have'nt been unable to play or record any tracks. In the case of playing existing projects. If I press play, the play button will light up briefly and at the bottom left of the window I see the word 'pause' lit up in green. It then disappears and nothing further happens. In the case of recording a new track. If I arm a track to record, activate the record function in the main control and press play. I again, see in the left hand bottom corner the words 'pause record', this time lit in red. This also disappears and nothing happens. Please help |

Re: Pro Tools Will Not Play or Record
Things to consider:
#1-You have provided almost ZERO details on the system/setup. Find the link near the top of the screen called Help Us Help You and have a good read so you know what info folks need before we can offer much help. #2-Close and restart Pro Tools. This works here whenever hitting PLAY does not work. #3-Uninstall Pro Tools and reinstall the last version that worked(maybe 2012 is not compatible with your OS)

Re: Pro Tools Will Not Play or Record
I'd also try holding down N when PT is starting, then pick your audio interface in the Playback Engine. Once the Playback engine is set, then I would go in and default your I/O settings. After doing that, open you session and make sure your track inputs and outputs are set properly.
And one last thing; make sure Windows is not using your PT audio device as it's default sound device. If this does not help, then like the others said, post your system details so we know a bit more about what is going on. Read the Help Us Help You for general troubleshooting and optimization tips and for how to post the proper system information. Thanks, Will |

Re: Pro Tools Will Not Play or Record
1-check that PT is not on line. . The little clock face on the transport
2-Try changing the hardware buffer size.
