    are you using PT 8?

    Naw I'm not insulting your computer knowledge. I don't even know you. Truly I don't have the SLIGHTEST idea what a CCNA or a MSCE is and or how that fits into the music production world. That is what were discussing here yes? Likewise I don't know what a .net/mono framework is. I do know that I...

    are you using PT 8?

    The comment I reacted to was Pro Tools 8 "actually works". As if earlier versions didn't. I can't remember a single release (CS or not) of Pro Tools that didn't work...NOT ONE. This coming from a guy that Tech Supported Digidesign for years. Time and time and time again the customers that...

    are you using PT 8?

    Really?? As if the last 25 versions didn't? The most stable software application in history. If Pro Tools is unstable it is without doubt the user NOT the software.

    Pro Tools Freeze

    Not enough information here to make an educated guess. Pro Tools is freezing is an incredibly broad brush stroke. Does it lock up to the point of needing to re-boot the computer? Does it lock up forcing you to re-boot Pro Tools? Does it throw an error code? Does it behave this way on all...

    Protools Won't Bounce to Disk

    Yea I agree. It's nearly impossible to figure out what exactly your problem is and what context your asking the questions in..... so very little descriptive detail. Take a moment and express yourself....it's good for you :)

    Orginial mbox question

    Yikes...you missed my point in it's entirety :) First I didn't mentioned ANYTHING about the 001. I did mention Digi's "current" line. Where the 001 was a remarkable turning point for Digi it was NOT the best sounding device they've produced. The point I WAS trying to make is how many people who...

    Orginial mbox question

    I'll try :) The market was no where near as defined as it is now. Digi was the industry leader by leaps and bounds by way of their TDM topography. NO one and I mean NO ONE had a solution that even remotely touched Mix and pre-Mix systems. The massive success of Digidesign even helped it's...

    Orginial mbox question

    Ok. Let me try to shed some light here. When the original M-Box and Control 24 were on the design table and Digidesign was in a MUCH different place (business direction) Focusrite approached Digidesign to perhaps pickup Focusrite's North American distributorship. As an overseas company...

    Frequent Dropouts in PT LE 7.3.1

    On the Digi web site there is a "sticky" in the PC/LE forum which covers MANY items that are essential for PC setup. I'd urge you to follow this closely. Do you have Service Pack 2 or 3? Anti-Virus plugs ins almost always have background type services running continuously. I'd at least do...

    Frequent Dropouts in PT LE 7.3.1

    Not likely a drive problem, of any kind, if it's doing the same thing on your C drive. Is this the error you get?? "Audio processing is conflicting with other CPU tasks. If this occurs often, reducing the "H/W Buffer Size" in the Playback Engine Dialog may help prevent the problem (-9129)"...

    Frequent Dropouts in PT LE 7.3.1

    I may be mixing my PC-vs-Mac protocols but dragging or copying anything to the Mac desktop copies it to the internal drive. The application drive..not the audio drive. I guess you'd call that your "C" drive. By using Pro Tools "save copy in" function you accomplish two things. 1st "save copy...

    OK. Don't want to pull teeth here but how bout the other suggestion??????

    Frequent Dropouts in PT LE 7.3.1

    Are you running these drives USB or Firewire?? Then I'd be interested to see what would happen if you took a session that was "dropping out" and "save copy in" (remember to check audio files only) that session to the desktop. You're gonna want to remember to delete that session from your...

    Orginial mbox question

    The original "stand up" light blue M-Box could NOT record 4 discrete track simultaneously. It was either 2 analog OR 2 S/pdif. Not both. This of course may have changed over the years but of the originals I am positive.

    Stumped

    Still a lot here but first and foremost you needs sounds. If the Akai doesn't have internal sounds (and it must not if it doesn't midi return) then you need to look for a drum plug-in or drum hardware in the form of a drum machine. The possibilities are endless and deep. Do some research on...

    Stumped

    Not enough pertinent information here to really make an educated guess but I suspect a fundamental mis-understanding of the working parts and connections. The Akai MPD16, as near as I can tell, is a controller yes?? I don't think there are on board sounds but if there are it's not the primary...

    PLEASE, I'M BEGGIN ! Help me design a Intel 3GHZ, 8GB RAM PT DAW -Component Selection

    After 20 years of working with Mac's..I built my own PC. It was a struggle to master XP and the PC in general and the bios ect...but fun none the less. It was right around $1400.00 from newegg. You can't get a Mac that has those specs for that price which indeed is why I've now integrated a PC...

    click track doesn't play back?

    Yes of course no problem....I've found it handy for compositional templates to have a click already setup. You can actually use your show-hide bin (on the left side of your mixer/edit page) and hide the click track. Then it's always a matter of turning the click off OR on in the transport...
