maybe I've missed something here but I can't seem to find how to turn the input monitoring off in pro tools LE. I'm running an M-Box on a G4 and I have an external desk (mackie 1402) that I use for monitoring the signals I'm recording, so I don't want to monitor the input signal being recorded through protools. But when I do 'drop-ins' I have to manually change the channel fader in protools so I can hear the track up till the drop in point but then turn it down so I don't hear the signal being recorded coming back through protools and creating a echo/double track effect due to the latency.
I understand the latency effect and also the concept of different fader levels for record/playback in protools, however, when dropping in, the already recorded track is played back at the record fader level when the track is put into record ready and hence the input is monitored when I push record... am I making sense? seems to me the already recorded music that I'm dropping in on should play back at the playback fader level and then I can just leave the record fader level down....am I still making sense?
I'm an old cubase user that's seen the light but cubase had a feature called 'global disable' that turned the input monitoring off specifically for this purpose. Man, I have to say the 1st thing u notice is how much better protools sounds!
... now if I can only suss this monitoring dilemma

any thoughts and ideas welcome. thanx, bjkiwi

Hey.

Just mute the channel, after record-enabling it. That should take care of your problem.
