no options on the insert drop down menu
hello all,
vista and mbox 2...just installed and learning a bit. in the mixer view when I click the "insert" tab the drop down menu only shows "I/O" and "no insert" how can i see the instruments, rewire, plug ins, etc. the only plug ins i can find are the audio suite plugs on the main page thx |

Re: no options on the insert drop down menu
I'm not at my system currently, but I think this is what you need to do. Go to the "View" menu and scroll to "Mix" window. Make sure the "Inserts" part is checked off. Then, in the Mixer, click on the tab and the drop down menu will appear with all of the plugins (if installed properly, of course).

according to the users manual when i click the insert selector i should see two choices--"plug ins" and "I/O". I only see I/O. I recently did the optimizations that digi recommends for vista. i didn't look to see if the plugs were there before that or not?? any other suggestions? thx |

Re: no options on the insert drop down menu
Missing inserts can also be a symptom of a corrupted install. Have you tried re-installing?
Are you installing to the default location on the system drive?

Audio Suite plugins are gone now too. I'm thinking this has something to do with the optimization procedure?? Should i do another clean install? If so, do I then have to go back and re-optomize the computer? Thanks! |

If not, running item #3 of the Tech Support Utility might actually help troubleshoot your problem.

Disable System Start Up Items 9. Display Performance 10. Disable DEP 11. Delete Digi Database Folders for all Vista Hard Drives 12. Delete Protools Preferences files in Vista Could it be item number 11? Maybe digi was assuming that I was using an external hard drive and had that stuff saved on there. I'm going to but I don't have one yet. I'm not running the troubleshoot utility, but I could if you think it might help. I'll wait to here back to see if it may be something in the above list. thx a ton! |

Re: no options on the insert drop down menu
Stern, if you insert the install disc, and try to re-install, there is a "repair" option. Maybe try that?

UNLESS... You deleted the wrong directory when deleting preferences. Quote:
I still think you should have a go at re-installing. That would be my first step, if I were you.
