Hi.
I'm wondering if its possible to sync an Mbox2 Pro running PT8 with a digi 001 running PT 5? I've got so many plug-ins on my old system that I can't afford to buy immediately for my new system, I was hoping i could sync the 2 sytems together. Wishful thinking?

I've got so many plug-ins on my old system that I can't afford to buy immediately for my new system, I was hoping i could sync the 2 sytems together. Wishful thinking? it should be possible but i have never done it like that i know you can beat sync look in midi i copy this from sight. Sound like you want to use MTC.. Make sure there is a MIDI connection from the "OUT" of the 001 to the "IN" of 002 with a midi cable interface configured properly Make sure the 001 or 002 is set to be the "Master" and also set clock type to MTC In Pro Tools, Make sure "MTC Reader Port" is set to either ANY (with a valid MIDI input present) or the specific MIDI port your is sending clock to.. (to get there: click on "Setup" menu and Choose "Peripherals" then "Synchronization") Make sure your "Frame Rate" and "tempo/BPM" are the same in both devices. (Frame rate visible in "session setup".. to get there: Click "Setup" menu, then choose "Session") lastly, put the Pro Tools transport "online", meaning it will wait for proper incoming clock to start playback (the little clock looking icon/button on the far left of the transport.. it will blink blue) try it out or you may nees a dedicted sync device. You can also use the 001 as an insert device running protools just use some patch cable to send signals in and out to it to channels in protools on the 001 from 002 process them in 001 Does this do the trick? |
