PT LE 8 with DigiRack 002

[richardgreen]

I have ProTools LE 8.02 cs on a Win 7 64-bit PC, and a Digi 002 Rack. The rack has 4 mic/line inputs yet PT LE only recognises 2 inputs?

Does anyone know how I can utilise the remaining 2 inputs on the rack in ProTools?

For running Win7 x64, you should be using PT version 8.0.4cs2. In any case, go to Setup>IO>Input tab and click the default button. Take a good look at the GRID on that page and notice how it works. You can freely assign input paths and sub paths as you want/need for your setup. You can also rename inputs to fit your setup(for instance, mine are labeled with what is patched, like "Motif'(for a Motif es8 on stereo inputs), "ISA 1", "ISA2"(for my Focusrite ISA preamp). Some outputs I have named "Phones 1", "Phones 2", etc. You actually have 8 inputs on the 002 that you can use right now. 5 thru 8 are line inputs with a switch for -10 or +4 operation. In -10, they might work fine for keyboards or a CD/Cassette player. In the +4 position, you could patch in some better external mic preamps.

Happy recording!
