All running but no input from instrument

[redcoat]

Hi all

Brand new to this so it's all learning for me. I have the software installed on my (Vista) machine, and the Fast Track connected. It all works, in that the software runs, loads sessions, plays back etc, & the PC recognises the interface and playback from 'Essential' is via the Fast Track outputs (eg to headphones). The only probelm I seem to have is that when a guitar is plugged into the interface it's signal does seem to reach the 'Essential' software - I know there is a signal becasue I get a good 'direct monitor' output back to headphones if selected, but it doesn't seem to go any further. As far as I can see everything is as it should be, but no instrument input (I don't have a mic to try out) to the software.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

The Guitar Input on the Fast Track is In 2. The track in Pro Tools defaults to input 1. From the mixer window, go to the I/O section and click to change the input for your mono audio track to be interface>In 2 (Mono).

Many thanks for that - I'll give it a try.

I've got the exact same issue. I tired the above and still nothing. Sounds great in the direct monitor headphones but no input in essentials.
