Cannot get 5.1 tracks or output paths in Pro Tools 6.4.1
I am setting up an used Pro Tools system which consists of:
- Power Mac g4 - 888-24 I/O - USD - Pro Tools 6.4.1 software However, I cannot get the option of creating tracks or I/O paths in formats other than mono or stereo, and we're setting up a 5.1 room. I was told that 5.1 tracks were available since Pro Tools software version 5, so what am I doing wrong? Thanks, Bernardo

Put Surround Mixer plugin in your plugins folder and move Stereo Mixer to unused plugins folder. Should help.

Hi Berrado,
look into your Plug-In folder on your harddrive. Is there a surround mixer plug in installed? If not look on your install cd. you can drag the surround mixer plug in from your cd into the harddrive folder. Good luck. Jochen |

"Pro Tools with TDM requires the TDM Mixer Plug-In in the Plug-Ins Folder" And Pro Tools fails to start. I can´t seem to find this plugin anywhere, is my problem really that one? Once again, now I have the Surround Mixer plug-in in my Plug-Ins folder, and the Stereo Mixer in my Unused Plug Ins folder. btw, thanks, guys

Confirm again that Mixer Plug-In is in the Plug-Ins Folder.
Trash Digi Setup & DAE preferences, than restart. Let us know..

You need to leave the stereo mixer in the plug-ins folder along with the surround mixer.

The surround mixer plug in is definitely in the folder, though. I'll try thrashing the preferences and Digi Setup, even though I have re-installed Pro Tools in this computer about three times now, to no results.

OK, tried thrashing Digi Setup and Pro Tools Preferences, still got no Surround. What can I be missing here?

Have you gone to your I/O set up and created a 5.1 path? Otherwise the default of PT is mono and stereo. The rest you have to define what you want it to be.
