Pro tools MP9 sound card for more than 2 recording tracks.
Hello every one, I hope every one is doig well these days !
I'm recently new on DAWs and with PT especially. I have a m-audio bundle, with the Mobile-pre sound card, and PT MP 9. Running on win 10 with a decent computer (8Go of RAM). The version of PT I have can record more than 16 track simultaneously and I dont see any limitation for the use I have so far inside the software. The problem I have is that I can only record two mic tracks, due to the fact that my M-audio mobile-pre only has two imputs... Is there any way to use more than 2 tracks with another hardware ? I understood that only this sound card let me able to lauch PT, in fact if the m audio is not there PT refuses to lauch/work. Is there a way to make the m-audio work with PT and having another hardware working with PT simultaneously ? Maybe these questions are beginner-like but I asume I'm a bit lost on this, and my drums wait being recorded ! Thanks a lot in advance for any further help yu can give me. Respectfully V. EDIT : - I forgot to mention I only have usb available (no firewire but can be change if it's the only way I can change my computer) - sorry if my thread is not in the good place inside the forum or if the question has already been answered, the forum is pretty huge !

Re: Pro tools MP9 sound card for more than 2 recording tracks.
You are somewhat limited for 2 reasons. #1-MP9 only works with M-Audio hardware. And #2-no firewire(the M-Audio Profire 2626 would be a great option but is firewire). If you are running a laptop, I have no help to offer, BUT...if you are running a desktop PC, odds are good that you could add a firewire card. In that case, post a Sandra report, or open the PC and tell us the model name/number of the motherboard and someone can probably tell you which firewire card to buy(and its important to choose wisely). You need a card with the required TI chipset and it needs to fit a slot on your motherboard(which could be PCI or PCIe, which are totally different)

Re: Pro tools MP9 sound card for more than 2 recording tracks.
Hello and thanks for your reply.
I noticed the 2626 could be a great solution but as you mentionned, I'm working with a laptop (absolutely needed cause I move very often). I saw the M-Audio fast track ultra 8-R (https://en.audiofanzine.com/usb-inte...rack-Ultra-8R/) could be a good USB solution. Do you think it can be compatible with PT MP9 ? Thanks again for any help you could give me. Musically V. |

If your laptop has an ExpressCard slot, look at getting one of these:
