slow audio

[armytanker]

I got the 003 rack+ and when I play a recorded session that was recorded with the mbox2 pro,the audio seems to play slow, like a record player playing the record slow. Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks.

Sounds like a sample rate issue that should not be happening. What rate was used when you recorded with the Mbox? What rate is showing when the 003 is the audio interface? Was any external device in play when you recorded the tracks(anything connected to the Mbox via a digital connection)?

The sample rate with the Mbox2 was 44 and now with the 003 it's at 48. Could that be the problem? Is there a way to fix it?

Yes this is classic sample rate mismatch.

File>Import Audio and change the clock rate. Check the SRC box in the dialog (SRC == Sample Rate Conversion). The rest should be self explanatory.

You can also just keep working at 44.1 kHz, just change the 003 clock rate.

Ok, so I was able to fix the sample rate issue, but I wanted to add tracks to record additional audio, but now it only shows 4 inputs from my old mbox I assume. It won't let me add more since now I have the 003. Any recommendations?

What are you trying to do? Fix apparently missing IO inputs or add more audio Tracks? Very different things.

Create a new Tack: go to Track>New assign it any of the available inputs you want.

If your actual inputs (and outputs? etc.) in Pro Tools do not match your interface then go to the Setup>IO pages and hit the default button on each page.
