Default PT 9 won't record audio track

I can record enable microphones (and I choose Mic inputs) and I hear them, but when I try to record the tracks, no audio is recorded.

New to PT from DP. Thanks for your help.

Perhaps not specific enough. Of course I did turn it on :)

Default Re: PT 9 won't record audio track

With great apology, I'm not only new to PT but new to the forum.

Here's the situation in detail:

I'm running a new Mac Pro 3.33GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon "Westmere" with 32Gb RAM. I have a PT 9 HD3 system installed and no previous installations of PT. My interface is a Prism ADA-8XR.

The pre-amp is a Millennia Media 8V-3R.

I can hear audio through mains when I record-enable a track, but, without changing outputs, when I actually record the track, all is blank (I neither hear audio nor is any recorded).

I suspect this is user error and that there is an easy fix for this and I'm just a neophyte.

If I haven't been specific enough, please let me know. Thank you for reading.

This is a good thought. Sadly, I am using audio tracks. I wonder if there is some PT default record function that I need to click or unclick in a preference pane.

So just to be certain you are record arming the track and then hitting the record button on the transport window, then hitting play correct?

You will find some very valuable information in the manual and the reference guide. I'd suggest reading them, especially the section that covers recording.

• “Working with Hard Drives for Recording” on page 439
• “Recording with a Click” on page 426
• “Setting the Session Meter and Tempo” on page 428
• Setting a Record Mode. See “Record Modes” on page 431
Track Setup for Recording

Files and Regions” on page 434
• “Assigning Hardware I/O on a Track” on page 435

Thank you for the helpful suggestions. I had pressed record in the transport window.

I got this to work by rebooting my converters. I don't know why and I guess if the problem persists, I will have to call Prism, as it may not be PT.

Thank you again.
