Default A.I.R. Instuments Issue

Hi guys! Sorry for these noob questions. I used to be pretty proficient with my old setup of PT9 etc... but haven't worked on anything in a few years due to medical issues. I'm better now (fingers crossed), and want to dive back in to the music but I seem to have forgotten some things. I recently bought the upgraded A.I.R. expansion pack and PT12 and things have certainly changed from the previous versions.

1. I can't get Strike/Transfuser (or anything really), to record on a stereo instrument track? I seem to remember needing to set Strike in particular it to a specific channel?

2. I have an Akai MPK49, and my routing is wrong for midi or not set up properly? I cannot get any communication with PT. I could use some direction for routing properly, please.

Are there any decent video tutorials around for setting these plugins up/routing anywhere? I sure would appreciate any advice or direction to some that are available?

This is such a valuable forum, wow, so many wonderful and very knowledgeable members. I'm very glad to be a part of the community and look forward to offering help if I can and also receiving some too lol.

Cheers,
Joe

Not sure whether you are trying to record Midi or Audio. You can only record Midi on an Instrument track. If you want to record Audio (the actual sounds coming from the VI) you'll need to create an Audio Track and route the instrument track to it.

The MPK shows up everywhere in PT Midi settings but still no sound? I can hear the instruments if i use the mouse, just nothing from the keyboard.

I want to record both ways but have to get the MPK working 1st..

Oh man do i ever feel dumb, i didn't notice that one of my kids pulled all the sliders down to zero!!!

This' precisely why I tell my wife that the studio is not a play room for our 3 & 4 year old. Yes, I want to start them off young playing music but jeez, turn your head for a second and it's "oh, look at the shiny lights flashing, let's just turn this knob and I'll just pull this slider thingy and maybe retune dad's guitar while we're at it" hahaha... kids lol.

Ok, well, working fine now!

Thank you for the links zed!

Glad you got it sorted. Sounds like you need a room with a locked door
