No sound previews from Xpand!2
New user. Cannot get any sound previews from Xpand2. I have watched numerous videos and demos and do the exact same thing they're doing but get nothing. I'm thinking that it is a setting that needs to be adjusted. Can anyone help me.
OS: windows7 Protools 8.0.4 Auto Input Monitoring (In the Track menu) is activated. And, yes, I have record enabled the track(s). Sound monitoring works on everything else. |

Re: No sound previews from Xpand!2
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "sound previews" could you please be a little more specific?

Can you tell us exactly what you have done and what you are trying to do? Are you using a MIDI controller? If so which one? And is it connected correctly? Here's the basics to getting XPand2 working.
When you're ready to record the MIDI that triggers it, record arm the track, and record.

Re: No sound previews from Xpand!2
spkguitar:
Thanks for the information. To clarify. If I set up a new session, create a stereo instrument track and insert Xpand 2 into the track....when Xpand!2 opens and I select a loop or sound from the library and I record enable the track, there is.....no sound. There is also no indication on the Vu meter on the Xpand2 interface (displayed on the screen) that the Xpand2 selection is even playing. My interface is an M-Audio Fast Track Pro, just purchased. Driver is installed. Not clear on exactly where I can confirm that it is setup as an input device nor where the Default Thru Instrument setting is. I do have Midi Thru selected. Any additional information you can provide to direct me to the above settings would be most appreciated. Thank you so much for your input. |

Sounds won't just play when you select them. You either have to write the notes, or play them on something.

Re: No sound previews from Xpand!2
I have an M-Audio Oxygen49 MIDI controller. I am more concerned with adding drum loops into tracks. If I play keys on the controller I only get a particular component of the loop i.e. bass drum, hi-hat, etc. In videos I have seen, the loop plays as soon as it is selected without any keyboard "trigger". Also, in the Pro Tools 101 book, it indicates that once you have selected a loop from Xpand2, it will appear in the Regions list on the edit screen (sometimes it does and sometimes not). At that point you can click and drag the loop to the track. I have actually done that once but have been unable to duplicate whatever it was that I did.

Re: No sound previews from Xpand!2
OK!! I have figured this out thanks to your help. I didn't have a clue that in order to hear a drum loop sample I had to hold down a key on the MIDI controller. I did that and recorded it into the track. It worked!!!! Many thanks for your help.
