I am attempting to use an MBOX Pro interface with PT Version 12. Seems no matter what setting I set the audio to (Left, Right or L & R stereo)the track comes out only on one side, usually the left. Is anyone using the MBOX with their power tracks?
Thank You,
Larry Thomas

Have you tried recording to a stereo track by setting the Track Type to stereo?
Do the VU meters show signal on the input of both channels?

Yes, I have tried that also. The VU meters only line up on one side. It's baffling. Thanks for responding.

To use L and R for a particular input channel, then, you have to select the "1,2" or whatever number combination desired, and then set up your DAW such that 1,2 L routes to one track and 1,2 R routes to another. Or just specify one Stereo track while recording and then use the Edit to break that track out into two mono tracks after recording. --Mac

That setting you're describing is for how MONO tracks get recorded.Either from the left input, the right input or both. If you have a stereo track type and want both sides recorded you need to be sending a signal to both the left and right physical inputs on the MBox.I suspect you only have one hole plugged.Not sure if using a mic input how the MBox does this. I suspect in the MBox software.

Thanks. The thought did cross my mind about making sure both inputs are plugged but didn't try it, mainly because I would think I could choose what to make stereo or mono within the mbox. Recording a guitar into one input leaves me with a mono track so I guess use a y chord to split the signal. My Roland RD700 us easy as it has stereo out with two outputs. I will try this. Thanks to all.

There's really no need for stereo tracks except for those instruments,keyboard, that may benefi because there stereo outs are slighty different from each other.Mono instruments, mics etc. really only need to be done mono.Then pan as you want.

The trouble I am having is, even when I record in mono, the sound only comes out of one side - I cannot pan. So basically everything I record is on the left side. I did go on and put two inputs in and that works to get two tracks but even with that I cannot separate out the pans.

Larry,
Have you tried simple playback of soundfile with some program such as the Windows Media Player to hear if you have both channels?

Two things to try; Set the track type to Audio Mono before recording, then you should be able to pan it To me, since the VUs in PT show input signal on only one side, it sounds like the issue is inside the MBox, like you have mixer settings set to pan left for the channels you are feeding to PT. Read pages 35 - 39 of the manual http://akmedia.digidesign.com/support/docs/Mbox_Pro_User_Guide_v90_69711.pdf
