Help Protools Mbox2 and LXP-15 how to insert?

[speedfrk222]

Ok, I need some help here. I’m trying to figure out how to hookup a Lexicon LXP-15 to my Mbox2 as an external insert/plug in?

I’ve read the Mbox2 manual and did the following. This is going to be hard to explain.

So I have a recorded vocal track. Now how do I send that out to the reverb and then get it back into protools?


Here’s what I’ve tried.

I have my vocal track going to Out 2 and the send on that track going to Bus17 (all mono)

Then I created an AUX track as the protools manual said. I have the input as Bus 17. but when I try and select the insert from Input 1 of the MBox2 in Protools it says it’s already in use?

Here’s how the LXP-15 is hooked up.
I have the Right out put going to the channel 1 TRS of the Mbox2
I have the Right output of the mbox2 going to right input of LXP-15.

Can someone help me figure this out?

I’m obviously a newbie at this. This is my first piece of external effects gear.

Thanks!

you're confusing me...i'm not really sure what you have wired where

but you should be able to select an I/O point on the send of that track. Pull down the send menu in your mix window and you should see I/O. Set that to channel two or whatever. Patch out of channel two into your effects unit. Patch back in (probably stereo) into channels 1/2 of your Mbox. Create a stereo aux send or audio track and set it's input to channels 1/2
Should work for you then.

No need to set it up as an insert.
