About the Pro Tools Guides

This Getting Started guide explains how to in-
stall Pro Tools LE software, make basic connec-
tions to your Mbox 2 Pro interface (to get sound
in and out of your interface), and do common
tasks (such as recording in Pro Tools).
In addition to any printed guides or documenta-
tion included with your system, PDF versions of
Pro Tools guides and Read Mes are installed au-
tomatically with Pro Tools.
The main guides (such as the Pro Tools Reference
Guide and the Pro Tools Menus Guide) are accessi-
ble from the Pro Tools Help menu.
• Pro Tools Reference Guide explains Pro Tools
software in detail.

on-screen menus.

the RTAS and AudioSuite plug-ins included
with Pro Tools.
• Digidesign Plug-ins Guide explains how to use

click shortcuts for Pro Tools.
These guides and other guides are installed on
your startup drive during installation. To view
or print PDF guides, you can use Adobe Reader
or Apple Preview (Mac only).
Printed copies of the Pro Tools Reference
Guide and other guides in the Pro Tools
guide set can be purchased separately from
the DigiStore (www.digidesign.com).
