Exploring the Mbox Mix Control
Try this:
Step 1. Plug a microphone into one of the Mbox inputs.
Step 2. Route this to an audio track in the Pro Tools LE mixer.
Step 3. Record-enable the audio track so that the audio coming in from the
Mbox will be routed via the Pro Tools mixer back out to the Mbox.
Step 4. Now hit the Record and then the Play buttons (or hit Command-
Spacebar) to start recording and count out loud to ten (or just say
anything for 10 seconds or so) into the microphone.
Step 5. Then hit the Spacebar to stop recording and de-select the track’s
Record-Enable button.
Now let’s explore how the Mix control works:
Step 6. Turn the Mix control to Input (all the way anti-clockwise, to the left).
Step 7. Speak into the microphone. You will hear the microphone directly
through the speakers.
Step 8. Now turn the Mix control to Playback (all the way clockwise, to the
right).
Step 9. Speak into the microphone and you will discover that you cannot
hear the sound directly through the speakers any more.
Step 10. Now hit the Spacebar to playback your recording. You will hear this
directly through the speakers.
Step 11. Now put the Mix control back to Input and the playback from Pro
Tools will not be heard any more.
This is because putting the Mix control in the Input position only lets you hear
what is plugged into the Mbox’s inputs (with no latency delay as it is not being
NOTE
When you are using the Mbox hardware with Pro Tools LE software, there
is no Low Latency Monitoring option in the Operations menu. This is not
needed, as the Mix control e ectively does the same thing.
