Pro Tools Corrupts My Recordings

[EricMulhern]

Hi, so every time I record something through my mbox 2 mini to my pro tools, the recording sounds really bad, with a crackly noise over everything. If I turn the mix dial on the Mbox all the way to the left, it stops crackling in the direct playback, but the recording and the audio files are still corrupted.

The weird par is that I had it working just fine the day before the problems began, but the next day it didn't work. I screwed around with it and got it to change to this problem instead, but I don't know what I did.

I have tried switching out all the cables, and tried the mbox out with garageband, so I know that the problem is with Pro Tools.

Can someone help me fix this?

Yes, the random 'start recording corrupt audio' feature. It's insidious not knowing if the take you're recording will actually record. Downright pathetic on an 8 core 3.33GHz i7 MacPro that I mix live music with in real time using Reaper and the exact same hardware.

Does anyone know of a workaround for this? Even just having some telltale warning so I could stop and relaunch without losing a take in the process would be great at this point.
