and folks here shoudl be able to give some tips for properly configuring that system to run well with those plugins.īTW if your recording is really guitar centric you may want to seriously think about an Eleven Rack. If so now is the time to hit us with the specs for your computer, CPU, disk (mfg/model/speed/interface/etc), memory, OS X version, etc. If you are just recording dry guitar DI signal do you have a particular amp sim plugin you want to use (PodFarm, Eleven, NI etc.). If electric do you have a separate amp to monitor (hear normal amplified electric guitar sounds while you/the guitarist plays) through? Do you want to record both the wet guitar signal (a mic on the guitar cab) and a dry signal (the DI input from the guitar) And zoom in vertically a lot to see any waveform shape

If you are recording an Electridc guitar DI the signal level will be very low and you may need to do something like insert an amp plugin (Sansamp, Eleven Free etc.) on the track to hear it. What type of guitar? Acoustic, Acoustics Electric or Electric? Are you recoding the DI (direct input) or output of an amplifier with a microphone?

> For a first time users the most important thing you can do is open up the manual and follow one of the examples there on how to get started. If you create a stereo audio track and drag a mp3 or similar existing audio file onto it can you play that track and hear music from Pro Tools. What are the input and output selector buttons in the mix or edit window showing for that track?ĭid you create an audio track or an instrument track by mistake (it has to be an audio track, typically mono for guitar tracking).ĭo you ever see the track meters move (even if you never hear anything)? Would someone be able to give me a quick run through on what settings I need to change in order for Pro Tools to accept the guitar signal through the MBox?ĭo you have the track record armed? (red record light clicked on the track) Pro Tools doesn't seem to want to detect a signal from the box. I have all the drivers installed properly for the MBox, and the System PrefPane says that it is recognizing the hardware. I can't seem to figure out how to set up my MBox Mini so that I can plug in a guitar and record directly to a track. I'm very new to Pro Tools, and audio recording as a whole.
