Just purchased PT Pro and spent the last 4 days trying to get up to speed. My main goal is to record backing tracks with mp3, karaoke, midi files and then record myself on sax on a seperate track.

I have successfully firgured out recording a mp3 or midi file and saving it as a .seq. Then adding on track 2 with my playing sax. After the sax is recorded I can add effects using the aux send (although I really don't fully grasp all the options) but I can't here any effects on my horn while recording. I would really like to be able to play with the effects live in the headphones. It seems that the headphone output isn't playing output from Power Tracks but rather just the dry mic signal from the sound card.

My setup: PC on windows XP, Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi sound card, mic and headphones plugged into Creative sound card on front of PC.

Thanks,
John Johnson
