check irq's

if this is not the problem then
run scandisk/defrag on the system drive

if this is not the problem then
re-load the O.S.

if this is not the problem then
try a new hard drive

For item #1

Start Menu->Run-> Type in msconfig and hit OK, Check selective startup, check the Services tab, check Hide all Microsoft services, press Disable All, go to the Startup tab and press Disable All... press OK then restart your PC and see if you still crash on startup.. if NO.. then start adding Startup or Service items until you find the culprit.

Be aware also that the software faders in the PT application Mix and Edit windows do NOTHING to trim the actual input levels. The only things that do that are the I/O adjusting faders and whatever hardware pots your version of Digi product may have (such as physical pots in the 001 or faders in the 002).

This is why I've been advised to set the faders to Pre-Fader for recording and post-fader for mixing.

But then again, it seems to be 'everything you know is wrong' week here on the DUC, so... [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

2. Ok Im sorry if i seem really dumb on this question, but im just curious. Are the meters on the tracks displaying the input or the output of the signal, NOW STOP LAUGHING AND HEAR ME OUT. I know common sense tells you that they are displaying the output. BUT, when you pull the fader down, the meter still displays some sort of signal(obviously when you have audio going at that time). You would think that if it was displaying the output, then the meter would show no signal when you have the fader turned all the way down. I hope I gave everyone a good laugh. Take Care!

When your track is record armed.. then the meters show input metering.

When the track is not record armed, it shows output metering.

There is an option in the Operations menu for either PRE or POST fader metering.
