First-time protools user,no sound

[stephenthemartyr]

Hey this is my first protools,have only used reason 6.5,sonar x1 and x2,ableton 8 and I cant seem to get audio.I dont really understand how to route things either.I have watched videos and read the protools 10 help file but no luck.I dropped a stereo instrument track into a blank project.Then I opened the drum plugin 'Boom"as an insert in that track.Under setup/IO I checked and my ua-25 audio interface seems to be routed and connected.My apro500 midi controller also seems to be set up to protools.When I press a midi key the led track indicators light up but I hear no sound.My speakers are plugged in and are on.Can someone please give me a hand?It would be greatly appreciated.

Try the MiniGrand plugin to test midi. I have also never been able to trigger BOOM from an external controller(not sure it was built to do that).

really?I know its a drum sequencer right?But it should serve as a drum machine also right?

open boom. click on the drum mixer labels. Kick, snare, tom, etc....It does play in a certain octave using a keyboard. The map is C1 to D#2. This would be the lower octave in your keyboard. On a 49 key controller, you need to put the keyboard down an octave to play all the notes. If it's the first track with midi, it will play, other wise, select that track and arm it to record. If you saw a content error, you have to locate the boom.big file on your CD or installation file.

actually my midi keyboard is triggering bbom as I see the track led's light up but there is a static like noise coming out of my monitors and I know the monitors and interface are working fina cause I opened them in reason6,ableton 8 and sonar x2 and they work fine.
