midi question

waxxy · #1 (**permalink**) 16th April 2009 , 07:42 PM

ok my pro tools bundles coming tommorow but i was wondering if i can use the midi ports on my emu 0404 card and still use the mbox 2 just as my audio in/out box...does pro tools use the mbox 2 as the sound card as well?or can i use the emu card to run the plug ins.
im a little unsure ..
id like to know before i hook everything up so ill have less problems.i had lots of problems using my mackie onyx satellite and my emu 0404 card at the sametime i had bad latency and crackles and pops..

thanks

if you can use it as a stand alone midi device i suppose but i think T3 or Trev will know for sure

All audio must go in and out of the Mbox when using Pro Tools. In fact, PT won't even load unless the Mbox is connected.

You can use any MIDI device/interface on your system though, so using the Emu should be no problem at all.

ill check my audio settings to see if i can change the settings to just accept midi on the emu and use the mbox2 for everything else..and when i use cubase ill swap them back..

just checked yeah i can use the midi ports seperatly from the audio side
