PRO TOOLS / MBOX 3 Slow motion issue
I bought an MBOX 3 about 3 days ago and it has been nothing but a nightmare, the latest problem I am having is really weird driver issue. The MBOX runs fine as a sound card until you open pro tools and then it plays everything back in slow motion, in or out of Pro tools.
You have to re-install the drivers to get it back to normal and as soon as you open pro-tools your back to square one. I am literally loosing the plot and I am loosing faith in Avid's products, I had a saffire 24 before and it just worked, to be fair I never had these issues years ago with my mbox 1... Please help!!

Re: PRO TOOLS / MBOX 3 Slow motion issue
Where's your separate dedicated audio drive??? May or may not be related but it's still a necessity.

Re: PRO TOOLS / MBOX 3 Slow motion issue
I have just bought a new one to replace my 40GB. It's not related and it's not a necessity I ran MBOX1 with PT 7.0 without any issues for years on a single disk..

As to your playback issue, it's possible some other audio application is locking the sample rate outside of PT. What other audio apps are you running? |

Re: PRO TOOLS / MBOX 3 Slow motion issue
Hmmm, I'm not using anything but Windows media player to play some files. But if I close it inside or outside of PT I still get slow motion playback. I'm having a crack at installing PT and MBOX on my crappy XP SP3 laptop, because I am convinced it is a driver issue... But at the same time I hope it's not because I'm screwed and I will just have to take it back.

Re: PRO TOOLS / MBOX 3 Slow motion issue
You need to make sure you have no other media apps running when you open PT to ensure that Pro Tools has exclusive use of the drivers.

I bought an M-Audio Firewire device that was a big pile of rubbish.. I had a saffire pro 14 and it was amazing compared to this pile of crap. If it was not for PT I would not touch Avid with your distant uncles barge pole.. |

Re: PRO TOOLS / MBOX 3 Slow motion issue
Well I'm going to swop it for another MBOX tomorrow.. I so hope it works, I have pre-amps so I don't need the MBOX for that and when it was working right it sounded good.

Re: PRO TOOLS / MBOX 3 Slow motion issue
Sounds like a plan. This is a new product so there's little sage wisdom yet.
Good luck- |

Re: PRO TOOLS / MBOX 3 Slow motion issue
Right well I took it back to store, they called Avid and it turns out there is a problem with a small amount of the MBOX 3's where the internal clocking chip does not work as it should.
I should be recieving another one tomorrow hopefully :) |
