Checking Your Signal Path
Listening to Demo Songs
Listening to demo songs is an easy way to verify
audio. To hear the audio from Pro Tools you will
need your headphones or speakers connected to
your audio interface.
To listen to a demo song:
1 Use the Pro Tools SE icon to launch the pro-
gram:
• Mac Click on the Pro Tools SE icon in the
Dock (or double-click the application icon
in the Pro Tools folder inside the Digide-
sign folder).
• Windows Click the Start button and locate
the Pro Tools SE icon (or double-click the
application icon in the Pro Tools folder in-
side the Digidesign folder).
2 Select the Demo Songs button.
3 From the list of music styles, select the cate-
gory you want (or select an item from a sub-
menu).
4 Click Audio Preview to listen to the song. If
you want to open the song in a Pro Tools session
click Choose.
Whether you click Audition Preview or the play
button in the open demo session, you will hear
the song playing through your speakers or in
your headphones.
If you do not hear anything, check your hard-
ware connections, and check your signal levels
as explained in Chapter 4, “The Software Con-
trol Panel” then repeat step 4.
