I am just setting up this studio for the first time, and I am having trouble picking up sound from the mic's. I am only getting a signal 1/10 of what it could be. I started using an SM57 and I thought "well, maybe its just the mic"; so I switched to my KSM27 condenser, turned phantom on, and still nothing (really). I checked all my levels and everything, everything looked good.

I'm new to using pro tools. I have experience recording into an ADAT recorder using an analog board. I know the difference between pre and post fader modes.
When recording or doing a final mix in pro tools, should the pre fader metering be turned on or off? I am not using any EQ when recording the tracks.

Thanks,
MWP

Just wondering if anyone knows the name of the company that offer to intergration between and SSL desk and pro tools. So that the faders will control the faders in pro tools.

I know it exists and its not the AWS-900 that I'm thinking of.

Thanks for the help

Cheers...

Ok peoples,

Hello, I have a couple questions about Pro Tools 7.0, I recently bought a new Mbox 2 and also purchased the ilok usb plugins. Im totally new with Pro Tools. Ive never really had any experience with eq plugins and dynamics. Im trying to get a really good clean tight sound on the vocals and a solid sound out of the instruments I'm recording.

New to pro tools, I'm using a 002r. I've been recording with analog and ADAT systems for a few years. To get to the point. When I was setting my levels on the kick and snare drum mics using the 002r preamps, they were very hot. Even when the gain was turned down to 0 on the 002r, they were still very hot. I ended up running the mics through an external pre-amp.

hi.
2 weeks ago i was happy recording 8 tracks live from a band to my laptop, a Toshiba Satellite with Hyper Thread. 80 gigs hd, 1 gig ram...
now i open those files and Pro Tools does not seems to work properly, can't move any fader, meters don't appear only the music.

it start to work only when i put the mouse on the taskbar clicking please help

i have pro tools with the mbox 2, and its giving me this problem that will appear on the screenshot, i really dont understand whats going on, i had tried everything install, uninstall, i even installed other version of pro tools but nothing.

Does anyone know where to find a variety of Click Track sounds that will work like the internal Click plugin in Pro Tools? I would prefer something with a softer attack...like a shaker. I know I can do this with midi and a drum machine, but I would like it to function like the Click plugin.

Hi guys... well i just installed pro tools 7 and i m having a problem everytime i open the pro tools it gives me Error Access violation.. anything i try to do it gives me the error whenever i create new project or try to open... does any one know the solution
