Default 3rd party interfaces

hey guys, I just switched to pro tools from cubase 6 and im having trouble trying to figure out how to use my audio interfaces with pro tools. I'm not going to list all my gear here as I am assuming that this is one of those support things where its gonna show all the gear i put in earlier anyways?

Thanks,

Pat.M

I use the Presonus Firestudio 26x26 with the MSR with Pro Tools 10 and it's been rock solid! It sounds great, the monitor controller is easy to use and convenient, and the mic pres on it are very good for the price.

Im sure it will all be great once i get it setup, but how do i do that? I'm transitioning from Cubase (where it is ridiculously easy to set up an interface).

How do i set up my hardware input and outputs with Pro Tools?

Thank you for the response!

a) do you see the interface(s) in AudioMIDI Setup?
b) if yes, hold the N key down when booting Pro Tools to select the interface you want to use
c) go to the I/O Setup window in Pro Tools to define you I/O paths

For the Firestudio:

First, make sure that you have the Presonus software downloaded and installed (if you don't already)

http://www.presonus.com/products/FireStudio/downloads

Then, open up Pro Tools, click the "Setup" menu option, "Playback Engine...", and then select "Presonus Firestudio" from the top dropbox. To customize the i/o, go to "Setup", "I/O...", and adjust things from in there.

Best of luck! You'll love it.
