Help with recording please
Hi, I am new to pro tools, just got it today I need some help with
recording to an instrumental track. I wanted to record a Christmas Cd so I found some instrumentals. I read the manual and checked the forums AND YOU TUBE but couldn't find an exact answer to my problem. Here is the issue. I imported the instrumental into pro tools, I can play the instrumental fine I hear it on my headset no problem. I can hear myself as well, through my mic, all is well. When I go to record the music does't play. I can hear myself through the headsets, and it actually records me talking but the music doesn't play. So I cannot record. I did what the manual said, created a new track, 1 mono, audio.... Made sure that the new tracks channel strip was set too mono 1 I clicked the record enable button, when I sing into the mic it picks me up I can hear myself in the headsets, then I press record and play and NO MUSIC.... I am sorry if this is simple, but I am missing something somewhere, I have tired so many times but I just don't know what I am doing wrong. SO if you wouldn't mind PLEASE HELP. Thank you. |
