| when launching Pro Tools, Pro Tools hangs at "Initializing TDM" |
reboot your system and delete the Preferences from the system's preferences folder.
- DigiSetup
- (entire folder) DAE Prefs
- Pro Tools vX.X prefences
This can occur if you relaunch Pro Tools too quickly after shutting down. You should wait until disk activity has stopped (or wait a few seconds) after quitting Pro Tools, before relaunching Pro Tools.
One of the last thing Pro Tools does when quitting, is to SAVE the preferences. If you (re-)launch Pro Tools, one of the first things it will do is READ these preferences. If these two processes occur simultaneously, the system will not allow either process to complete.

| Getting distortion during playback and record with Mbox on a Windows (XP) PC. |
In one case, the user, had the Line Output (TRS) of the Mbox connected to the Sound Blaster card inputs on his PC, so he could play Pro Tools from the speakers on his computer. This connection created the distortion. Once the cables were removed from the Mbox to the PC, record and playback were distortion free.
Thus, speakers or headphones must be connected directly to Mbox for playback and recording.

|
| When I boot my computer and run Pro Tools, the Mbox appears to be working but it is not playing any audio. The USB light is on and Pro Tools looks like it is playing as the transport is moving and I see levels in the meters. |
Workaround is to unplug the USB cable and plug it back in. Reports are that this only occurs after a CPU bootup.

|
| DAE error -9128 when trying to use D-Verb plug-in even though my CPU should not be overloaded. Also the CPU meter is up around 90% but I am not using many plug-ins. |
There is currently a problem affecting D-Verb especially when using certain Algorithm settings. Room 2 suffers from this problem, although other algorithms could be affected as well. This problem is more common on Pentium 4 processors.
Workarounds:
1) Use a different Algorithm (e.g. Hall).
2) Insert a plug-in (e.g. POWr Dither) before the D-Verb.

Loud random noise bursts can occur during playback and record in Pro Tools ...
|
| Loud random noise bursts can occur during playback and record in Pro Tools LE 6.0 with Waves 4.0 RTAS Plug-Ins. |
This has been seen with the Waves 4.0 Rvox plug-in, possibly others.
Go to www.waves.com and hit "Downloads". Under the "Quick links" section hit "Updates" and download "Wave-Shell DAE 4.0.1 x".
2. Go to: HD>Library>Application support>Digidesign>Plug-ins – trash the current Wave-Shell 4.0_x and replace it with the new one (Wave-Shell DAE 4.0.1 x).
WaveShell-DAE 4.0.1_X fixes problems, such as loud noise bursts, occurring when issuing Play/Stop commands. If you are using Pro-Tools TDM/LE 6.0 or higher, it is highly recommended to use this WaveShell.
Installation: Go to Digidedign’s Plug-Ins folder (Your Hard Disk / Library/ Application Support/Digidesign/Plug-Ins), trash WaveShell DAE 4.0_X and replace it with WaveShell-DAE 4.0.1_X.

| DAE error -6031 can occur when using RTAS Plug-Ins with SYNC I/O as clock master. |
This is a known issue in Pro Tools 6.1, and is fixed in 6.4.
As a workaround a new DAE was developed to overcome this problem. Install DAE v.6.1cs1 (available on the 6.1 CD in the Additional Files/Beta Software folder, or as a download from http://www.digidesign.com/download/daedsi/).

|
| I get an error "No peripheral found for the deck." when launching Pro Tools |
This error can be caused when installing over a previously installed version of Pro Tools that used different Digidesign hardware (e.g. installing Pro Tools LE for Mbox over a previously installed version of Pro Tools for 001).
If you have both installation CD's for each type of hardware, run the uninstaller from those CD's, then restart your computer and do a reinstall of the proper version.
To uninstall from the CD, put the CD in your drive and double-click on the 'Install Pro Tools (LE)' icon from the CD.
Continue thru the license agreement and, when you get to the page that says 'Custom Install', click on 'Custom Install' and, from the drop down menu, select 'Uninstall', then click on the 'Uninstall' button in the lower right.
If you do not have both installation CD's, you can run the uninstaller from the CD you DO have, but you will also need to remove some components by hand, either by logging in as Root or by booting into OS9 (if your computer is capable of this) and removing the following:
>System>Library>CFMSupport - remove DAE, Digidesign DSP Manager, DigiDirectIO, DigiHardwareSetup, DigiHwGUI, DigiStreamManager and DigiSystemInterface
Then trash the DAE Prefs folder, Digisetup, and Pro Tools LE preferences in >Users>Current User>Library>Preferences
You should then be able to reinstall the proper version for your hardware.

How do I record from Reason or Live into Pro Tools on an audio track?
|
| How do I record from Reason or Live into Pro Tools on an audio track? |
You should always create your ReWire inputs from Reason or Live on an Aux Input track (LE). On TDM systems, you will only be able to instantiate it on an Audio track. On the output tab for that track, select an output to an open Bus, then create an Audio track and, on it's input tab, select the same Bus.
A sample step by step:
1) Create a Stereo Aux Input track in Pro Tools. (File Menu > New Track).
2) Insert the Reason or Live ReWire plug-in on the insert of that track.
3) In the Rewire plug-in window, select the output from your ReWire application that you want to record (e.g. Mix L - Mix R).
4) On the output tab on that track select an open Bus (e.g. Bus 1 - 2 Stereo).
5) Create a new Stereo Audio Track and set it's input to the same Bus indicated in Step 4 (in this case Bus 1 - 2 Stereo).
6) Record enable the track and you're all set. When you now press 'Record' and 'Play' in the Transport, the outputs from your ReWired application will be recorded on that Stereo Audio Track.
