Mbox3 direct monitoring?

[toddw]

Hi, I just upgraded from an Mbox3 Mini to regular Mbox. There is no "mix p/b" knob on the regular Mbox for low latency monitoring.

The problem is that in Pro Tools 10, I'm unable to hear any input at all, unless the track is record enabled, and then there is latency. It's like the virtual "mix p/b" knob is set all the way to one side.

Is there a way to control this so I can hear 50% input and 50% playback? The correlate to the Mbox3 Mini's "mix p/b" knob being set dead center.

Thanks!

Figured it out:

In the Mbox control panel: setup -> check "disable host control"

Pro Tools will then allow control of the Mbox "Analog 1-2" mixer, and you can hear input audio.
