I've recorded songs for years, and I'm familiar with starting new sessions. Recently I upgraded to pro tools 8, and have been working with midi, so since the upgrade I have not recorded any vocals, or guitar. Before I start messing things up, I thought I'd check with the experts. :)

Here's whats going on: When I hit the mic, I can hear it through my speakers, but when I hit record my lights for levels shoot up like there is something else that its hearing. I tried both channels on the Mbox, both 1/4 inch and mic inputs, and I opened a new session, but all produce the same outcome. When I record nothing shows up on the track. Other than making sure I'm on the right channel, and troubleshooting with the Mbox, I'm not sure what else to check.

Usually trashing preferences will fix this. See the General Troubleshooting thread for info and other optimizations. Make sure your computer is not going to sleep - waking from sleep can cause this problem as well.

DigiTech,

I checked my Preferences, powered down, back up, and I'm working. Thanks.
