Recording A Pro Tools Session - DigiDesign Digi 002 & Digi 002 Rack Basic Manual

Recording a Pro Tools Session

Before you record with the Digi 002 or Digi 002
Rack, you first create a Pro Tools session, then
prepare an audio track for recording.
To create a Pro Tools session:
Verify the connections between the Digi 002
1
or Digi 002 Rack and your instrument or micro-
phone.
Launch Pro Tools.

In the New Session dialog, set the session pa-
4
rameters as needed, or leave them at their de-
fault settings. (For details on New Session

Specify 1 Mono Audio Track in Samples, if
2
your source is mono, or 1 Stereo Audio Track in
Samples, if your source is stereo.
Creating a new Stereo audio track
Click Create.

A mono instrument uses one input on the
Digi 002 or Digi 002 Rack, and a stereo in-
strument uses two. Creating a stereo track
in Pro Tools will not make a mono instru-
ment into a stereo instrument. If a mono in-
strument is recorded on a stereo track, one
side of the stereo track will show no signal.
