Creating a new stereo audio track
A mono instrument uses one input on the
Mbox, and a stereo instrument uses two.
Creating a stereo track in Pro Tools will not
make a mono instrument into a stereo in-
strument. If a mono instrument is recorded
on a stereo track, one of the sides of the ste-
reo track will show no signal.
