Hey everyone--
I finally picked up some devices with which to record some music. I initially wanted something user friendly, basically hitting "record" and Im off but was given an offer on an Mbox mini 3 and a copy of Protools 8 that I just couldnt refuse on my budget.
I need the basics. What kind of session to use (im only recording through a condensor mic some vocals, guitar and a mandolin) to record some really easy, run of the mill bluegrassy/gospel stuff. No samples, loops, or MIDI stuff. Just whatever i put into the mic.
Here are some problems ive run into
1. When messing around with the mbox and protools, a message popped up (2 times) that said protools couldnt find the mbox. Restarted, no more problems
2. I can hear the mic through the soundcard but protools isn't picking up what im putting down. That is--no signal, unless the input i use is the guitar jack option on protools. But then I had problems with playback--really fuzzy stuff.
3. I literally had to turn the gain almost all the way up to hear through the mic
Sorry for any confusion. If anyone knows what I'm talking about, I could sure use some advice/input.
Thank you!
