Anyone familiar with Pro Tools?

Sup guys? Just recently started doing some DAW/software projects and just got my MBox 2 and Pro Tools LE 8. I've usually been more of a hardware (MPC) type of dude, but I figured I had to make the leap sooner or later to some more software apps.

The other night I tried to dump some tracks from my Roland MV-8800 into Pro Tools, that, while being a slight pain worked fine. I went from the master output on my MV with a 1/4 inch cable direct in to my Mbox's line input. Sounded pretty good, and I had no worries.

Now, I'm getting a massive amount of feedback from something, not entirely sure what. Just some really terrible static white noise drowning out everything else.

I did the same thing's that I did the other night (from everything I can recall off te top of my head) I plugged the master out onto the MV into the line input on my Mbox, selected where the input signal should be in the Pro Tools mixer, armed the track to record.. but nothing but that static.

Anyone have some sort of suggestion?

this is an awesome site, I am pretty sure you can find your answer if you use the search on there. If not just make a thread and someone will likely have the answer.

My suggestion is to use Logic Pro, I find it superior to pro tools in pretty much everyway. 

In terms of the feedback though it is really just trial and error until you figure it out unfortunately.

Not sure if its the same with protools, but I used to get a lot of static on Tracktion (which I love BTW...very powerful, but incredibly easy to use, and cheaper than protools), and it was just an issue of too many other things going on the computer.  We turned off the wifi and it worked fine.

Yeah, sounds more like a hardware connection issue. Have you tried a different track?

Lol, not to hijack the thread anymore, but I saw the Pro Tools thread and I thought I can't let a Wu-Tang reference go by.  Should of known my man dark lord would have beaten me to it.

I guess the fix was as simple as unplugging the mbox and plugging it back in. Who woulda thought.
