play flashes then stops. session wont play.
i have recently upgraded from pro tools 8 to PT9 and after finally getting everything sorted I have a problem getting my sessions to play. When i press play the play button flashes once then the stop button flashes and nothing happens. There is no error message or anything. The I/O settings are correct and it is recognising my hard drive in the I/O window fine.
I have tried both old pro tools 8 sessions and new PT9 ones i have created for test purposes and no joy... any ideas? |

Re: play flashes then stops. session wont play.
Did you select Wait for Midi note? Spend a little time with the manual. Open up the big transport window and uncheck the clock symbol?

Re: play flashes then stops. session wont play.
no i haven't selected anything.. the wait for midi note is unselected.
I appreciate that i need to spend time with the manual but surely everything should just play upon opening. The I/O settings are correct, and no eror is popping up |

If that doesn't help, give us specific info on where your tracks are routed and what your IO Setups looks like on the Output tab. |

Re: play flashes then stops. session wont play.
defaulted the I/O setup and nothing has changed with regards to playback.
All tracks are routed to output 1-2. In the output tab the output 1-2 is routed to out 1 and 2 on my saffire. I am pretty sure it is not a routing issue as it is not just a case of me not hearing anything, but a case of the session just not playing at all. I would post images by the way but am not sure how. It says I may not post attachments under posting rules for some reason. If anyone knows how i change this, it would be very helpful with regards to communicating my problems. cheers |

One way to post images is to upload them to a free photobucket account and link to them in your post.

Do you get playback from other applications with the Saffire?

Re: play flashes then stops. session wont play.
yes it works fine with everything.
It must be a setting or something within pro tools, im sure. the timebar doesn't move at all. It is not just a case of me not hearing anything. Quote:
