PT 8 M-powered + M-Audio ProjectMix now working together

[Kafrifelle]

I am so frekken disappointed because I moved my Pro Tools 8.0 M-Powered and M-Audio ProjectMix I/O from my MacBook Pro 15in on Snow Leopard (with dual core and only 2gb RAM) to my brand new iMac 27 i5 QuadCore + 4gb of Ram and I can't seem to fully complete the installation and worse, my M-Audio ProjectMix I/O will let me plus instruments and hear them thru PT 8 but it is not automated anymore for some reason ...

What Am I doing wrong here ? I also have tons of errors 5000 saying that the plug-ins are not working when I start my PT 8 M-Powered ...

Anyone can guide me thru suicide or better yet have any advice for making this work as it did with my MBP ?

Thanks sincerely

did you use the migration assistant by any chance? Are you running 8.0.4cs2?

1.Do a clean uninstall of pro tools.
2. Install current drivers for project mix
3. install pro tools

Hello, no, This is the actual 8.0 Original DVD without any upgrade yet.

If I understand correctly, I would have to install the ProjectMix drivers first and then PT 8 M-Powered ?



UPDATE: Ok, I did install the whole thing again from a clean install PMix pilot first, then PT8 ... I still don't get automation (sliders moving) on my Control surface (it's indeed in ProTools mode too).

I thought that I would have this working easily, it seems I must be missing a step in configuration though. PT8 Opens fine and lets me create tracks and I can hear the instruments plugged in the PMix. I see that PT 8 sees the PMix as a hardware ....

UPDATE #2: I have now updated the PT8 to 8.0.3 still no automation between the ProjectMix and PT 8.0.3 :-(

UPDATE #3 I made it work ... I needed to enter the configuration and assign PMix into midi mode.





I am a little computer challenged, any help would be appreciate. My iMac is running on OSX 10,6,6 with plenty of RAM.

Anybody

I just realized you might not have the project mix set up correctly. Follow the steps below.

Make sure the ProjectMix is in Pro Tools mode - NOT HUI mode, which is only for other DAWs - then configure it in the Peripherals>MIDI Controllers window to enable the faders, etc.

Then inside pro tools go to preferences and set the following to:

Peripherals>MIDI Controllers :
#1: Type :HUI
Receive From: Project Mix, Control
Send To: Project Mix, Control

Good luck

Hi Tribedercribe,

That is exactly what fixed the problem.

When I re installed the new gear on to the new computer, I was under the impression that it would be an automated confid. I was wrong,

Thx for the help.
