chapter 5 Configuring Your Pro Tools System After you have connected your system and installed Pro Tools software, you are ready to start up and configure your Pro Tools system. Shut down your Pro Tools system in this order: 1 Quit Pro Tools and any other running applications. To quit Pro Tools, choose File > Exit (Windows) or Pro Tools > Quit (Mac).
In most cases, the default settings for your system provide optimum performance, but you may want to adjust them to accommodate large or processing-intensive Pro Tools sessions. RTAS Processors Hardware Buffer Size With multiprocessor computers, this setting lets you manage multi-processor support for RTAS processing. With multiple processor computers that support HyperThreading (and have it enabled), you must disable Hyper-Threading for this setting to become available.
To set the number of RTAS Processors: 1 Choose Setup > Playback Engine. 2 From the RTAS Processors pop-up menu, select the number of available processors you want to allocate for RTAS plug-in processing. The number of processors available varies depending on how many processors are available on your computer: • Choose 1 Processor to limit RTAS processing to one CPU in the system. • Choose 2 Processors to enable load balancing across two available processors.
There is one RTAS Engine option: Ignore Errors During Playback/Record When enabled, Pro Tools continues to play and record even if the RTAS processing requirements exceed the selected CPU Usage Limit. This can result in pops and clicks in the audio, but does not stop the transport. To enable RTAS error suppression: 1 Choose Setup > Playback Engine. 2 Select Ignore Errors During Playback/Record. 3 Click OK.
Cache Size To minimize system memory allocation: The Cache Size determines the amount of memory DAE allocates to pre-buffer audio for playback and looping when using Elastic Audio. 1 Choose Setup > Playback Engine. The optimum Cache Size for most sessions is Normal. 4 Restart your computer. A Cache Size setting of Minimum reduces the amount of system memory used for disk operations and frees up memory for other system tasks. However, performance when using Elastic Audio features may decrease.
To change the Plug-in Streaming Buffer Size: 1 Choose Setup > Playback Engine. 2 From the Plug-in Streaming Buffer Size pop-up menu, select a buffer size. 3 Click OK. Optimizing the Plug-in Streaming Buffer Size (Structure Plug-in Only) This option appears in the Playback Engine dialog only if the Structure sampler instrument plug-in is installed on your system. This option is useful when you are playing samples from the same drive that contains audio for the current session.
To rename I/O paths in I/O Setup: 1 Choose Setup > I/O. 2 Click the Output or Bus tab to display the correspond- ing connections. Since Mbox 2 Micro provides no external input, there are no Input or Insert options in the I/O Setup dialog. 3 To change the name of a path or subpath, doubleclick directly on the Path Name, type a new name for the path, and press Enter. 4 Click OK. See the Pro Tools Reference Guide (or choose Help > Pro Tools Reference Guide) for more information on renaming I/O paths.
Enabling DMA To configure Windows Power Management: Enabling your computer's DMA (Direct Memory Access) frees up CPU bandwidth so the computer can do other Pro Tools tasks. 1 Choose Start > Control Panel. In most cases the DMA option will already be set correctly, as Windows XP detects and activates DMA mode by default. 4 From the Power Schemes pop-up menu, select Always On. To enable DMA for any IDE hard drives: 1 Choose Start > Control Panel. 2 Double-click Power Options.
Recommended Optimizations Pro Tools can also be affected by other software and hardware drivers installed on your computer. It is recommended (but not required) that you do the following: • Avoid running any unneeded programs at the same time as Pro Tools. • Turn off any software utilities that run in the background, such as Windows Messenger, calendars, and disk maintenance programs. • Turn off any nonessential USB devices while running Pro Tools.
Disabling System Startup Items The fewer items in use by your computer, the more resources are available for Pro Tools. Some startup applications may be consuming unnecessary CPU resources, and should be turned off.
Turning Off Energy Saver Disabling the Spotlight Shortcuts To turn off the Energy Saver feature: The Mac OS X Spotlight feature uses the same key commands Pro Tools uses to start recording (Command+Spacebar), and to record online (Command+Option+Spacebar). If you want to retain use of these key commands in Pro Tools, these shortcuts must be disabled. 1 Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu and click Energy Saver. 2 Click Sleep and do the following: • Set the computer sleep setting to Never.
Enabling Journaling for Audio Drives If you plan to use an audio drive that you used with a previous version of Pro Tools on the Mac, enable journaling. To enable journaling: 1 Launch the Disk Utility application, located in Applica- tions/Utilities. 2 Select the volume in the left column of the Disk Util- ity window. 3 Click Enable Journaling in the toolbar.
chapter 6 Mbox 2 Micro Hardware Overview Mbox 2 Micro Hardware Features Making Hardware Connections The Mbox 2 Micro provides the following hardware features: To hear audio played back from a Pro Tools session, you will need to connect headphones or an external sound system (such as powered monitors or a home stereo) to Mbox 2 Micro. Sound from Mbox 2 Micro cannot be played through your computer’s speakers or your computer’s sound output.
Connecting to a Sound System You can also connect the 1/8-inch Stereo Output to a stereo sound system (such as a PA system or your home stereo system). However, you may need a stereo 1/8inch to split RCA or 1/4-inch adapter, depending on your sound system. Home stereo systems often use RCA connectors. You can use adaptors or special cables to convert from the stereo 1/8-inch TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) Output connector used by the Mbox 2 Micro to the RCA connectors on your home stereo.
chapter 7 Common Tasks with Pro Tools LE This chapter is designed to give new users specific methods for accomplishing common tasks with your Pro Tools system. 4 In the New Session dialog, set the session parameters as needed, or leave them at their default settings.

5 Drag the audio file from the Workspace browser to the Track List in the Edit window to import the file to a new audio track. Creating an Audio CD from a Pro Tools Session Pro Tools does not create audio CDs directly, but you can create stereo audio files from your Pro Tools sessions that can be used by most CD burning software. Bouncing Audio to Disk Use the Pro Tools Bounce to Disk feature to combine all your audible tracks into a single “master” audio file.
Figure 1.
To bounce audio to disk: 1 After you have finished editing and mixing a session in Pro Tools, select the length of the session in the Timeline (or on a track), plus an additional amount of time to avoid cutting off any reverb tails that might continue past the end of the last region. (See Figure 1 on page 38.) 7 If you are changing the sample rate of the bounced file, select a Conversion Quality setting. (For details, see the Pro Tools Reference Guide.) 8 Select “Convert after Bounce,” and click Bounce.
9 In the Bounce dialog, give the bounce tracks a name and choose where they should be saved. Pro Tools begins bouncing to disk. Pro Tools bounces are done in real time, so you hear audio playback of your mix during the bounce process (though you cannot adjust it). . Entering a name for the bounced file 10 Click Save. Bouncing to Disk dialog Burning a CD After the bounce is completed, you will have an audio file that is ready for burning onto a CD.
Recording MIDI in a Pro Tools Session What is MIDI? MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) data is not audio, and has no sound. MIDI is a way for musical devices to communicate. MIDI is data that can trigger a MIDI device (such as a keyboard or software synthesizer). In order to create or play a MIDI recording, you must have a MIDI controller or sound module (real or virtual) connected to the computer through the MIDI ports on a MIDI interface.
5 Do one of the following, depending on the type of in- strument you are using: • If you are using an instrument plug-in, click an Insert selector and insert the plug-in on the Instrument track. The track’s MIDI output is automatically assigned to the instrument plug-in. 6 In the Mix Window, click the track’s Record Enable button to enable the Instrument track for MIDI recording.
9 Adjust the audio output level of the Instrument track with its Volume fader. 6 When you have finished recording, click Stop in the Transport window, or press the Spacebar. The newly recorded MIDI data appears as a MIDI region on the track in the Edit window, as well as in the Region List. Volume fader MIDI data in the Instrument track To play back MIDI data: 1 If necessary, click the track’s Record Enable button to take the Instrument track out of Record mode.

appendix a Configuring MIDI Studio Setup (Windows Only) MIDI Studio Setup MIDI Studio Setup (MSS) lets you configure the MIDI controllers and sound modules that are connected to your system, and control the routing of MIDI data between your MIDI equipment and Pro Tools. MSS automatically finds MIDI interfaces, and lets you specify a custom name for each of the MIDI ports within the MIDI Studio Setup document. MIDI Studio Setup Window The MIDI Studio Setup window is organized into three sections.
Show Duplicate Emulated Ports When this option is selected and you are using a MIDI interface that supports timestamping (such as MIDI I/O), the MIDI Studio setup window shows both the DirectMusic timestamped output ports, and non-stamped duplicate emulated output ports. Some MIDI Interfaces will not properly load or unload their drivers unless you quit and re-launch Pro Tools. Check the documentation that came with your MIDI interface for more information.
Instrument Name Output Port The Instrument Name field shows the user-definable instrument name for the currently selected instrument. The Output Port pop-up menu displays a list of available MIDI interface output ports. The port set and displayed here is the port through which MIDI data is sent from your MIDI interface to the MIDI device specified in the Instrument Name field. Manufacturer The Manufacturer pop-up menu provides a list of MIDI equipment manufacturers.
3 Click the MIDI track’s Patch Select button. 5 In the Open dialog, navigate to Program Files\Common Files\Digidesign\MIDI Patch Names\Digidesign\, and select the MIDI Patch Name file (.midnam) for the MIDI device. 6 Click Open. Patch Select button The Patch Select dialog is populated with patch names and the Patch Name Bank pop-up menu appears in the upper left hand corner of the window.
appendix b Configuring AMS (Mac OS X Only) Audio MIDI Setup Pro Tools recognizes the ports on your MIDI interface as generic ports. With Mac OS X, you use Apple’s Audio MIDI Setup (AMS) utility to identify external MIDI devices connected to your MIDI interface and configure your MIDI studio for use with Pro Tools.
To configure an external MIDI device: 1 Select the external device icon and click Show Info (or double-click the new device icon). External Device Icon 2 Select a manufacturer and model for the new device from the corresponding pop-up menus. (If the Manufacturer and Model pop-up menus do not provide a name for your particular device, you can type a name.) For Manufacturer and Model names, AMS refers to one or more files with the suffix “.middev” in the directory Root/Library/Audio/MIDI Devices.
4 Click the device image. The window expands to show images for various MIDI devices (such as keyboards, modules, interfaces, and mixers). Select an icon for your device. MIDI Patch Name Support Pro Tools supports XML (Extensible Markup Language) for storing and importing patch names for you external MIDI devices.

To clear patch names: Patch Select button In the Patch Select dialog, click the Clear button, and click Done. MIDI patch name files (.midnam) can be edited in any text editor, or you can use third-party patch librarian and editor software to create your own custom patch names. Patch Select button, Mix window 4 In the Patch Select dialog, click the Change button.
appendix c Hard Drive Configuration and Maintenance It is recommended that you start with a newly formatted external or secondary internal audio drive. You should also periodically defragment your audio drive to ensure continued system performance. Always back up any important data on your drive before formatting it, as it will erase all data on the drive. Avoid Recording to the System Drive Recording to your system drive is not recommended.
Formatting an Audio Drive Formatting Windows Audio Drives (Windows Only) For optimal performance, audio drives should be formatted as NTFS. To format an audio drive: 1 On Windows Vista, choose Start. 4 If the volume is “Healthy,” do the following: Healthy volumes are volumes that have previously been partitioned and formatted. • In the Disk Management window, right-click the hard drive you will use for audio and choose Format. • In the Format window, name the volume.
• Select “Perform a quick format.” • Make sure “Enable file and folder compression” is not selected. • Set the Allocation unit size to Default. • Click OK. Pro Tools only supports Basic drive types. Do not convert the drive to a Dynamic type . Formatting Mac Audio Drives 4 Choose the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. Do not choose the “Case-Sensitive” format option. Pro Tools will not operate properly with case-sensitive formatted drives. 5 Type a name for the new volume.
Seek Times on Partitioned Drives Seek times are actually faster on partitioned drives (assuming that reads and writes are performed on a single partition), since the heads only have to seek within the partition boundaries, rather than the whole capacity of the drive. Smaller partitions perform faster than larger partitions, but this comes at the expense of contiguous storage space. When you partition a drive, you will need to find the compromise that best suits your performance and storage requirements.
Backing Up Data Before Optimizing To defragment an audio drive (Windows XP): Since your files will be rewritten by the optimization process, always make a backup copy of the data on your hard drive before you optimize it. You should also use a hard drive utility to find and repair any problems before optimizing data or re-initializing your drives. If there is any damage to your hard drive's directories prior to optimizing, serious data loss may result. 1 Right-click My Computer and choose Manage.
Hard Disk Storage Space Mono audio tracks recorded with 16-bit resolution at 44.1 kHz (CD quality) require approximately 5 MB of hard disk space per minute. The same tracks recorded with 24-bit resolution require about 7.5 MB per minute. Stereo audio tracks recorded with 16-bit resolution at 44.1 kHz (CD quality) require approximately 10 MB of hard disk space per minute. The same tracks recorded with 24-bit resolution require about 15 MB per minute.
appendix d Troubleshooting Backing Up Your Work It is highly recommended that you back up your work on a regular basis, and especially before making changes to your system configuration. Backing Up Your Session Data Back up your session and audio data frequently. There are a variety of media that are suited to back up projects of various sizes, including additional hard drives, CD/DVD burners, automated tape backup systems, and high-capacity optical drives.
Audio Interface Is Not Recognized Problem When you launch Pro Tools it does not recognize an audio interface, or a connected audio interface is not available. Possible Solutions Turn off your computer and check to be sure your cables are properly and securely connected to your computer and to your audio interface. Verify that your Hardware Setup dialog settings are correct. Try unplugging the USB cable from the Mbox 2 Micro USB port and plugging it back in.
