Getting Started with Mbox38
5 Choose MIDI > Click Options and set the
Click and Countoff options as desired. (Click
OK to apply these options.)
6 Begin playback. A click is generated according
to the tempo and meter of the current session
and the settings in the Click Options dialog.
Using an External MIDI Click
Pro Tools also provides a MIDI Click option that
lets you use an external MIDI device to play a
click. This feature can be turned on and off in
the Transport window, and is configured from
the MIDI Click Options dialog.
To configure and enable an external MIDI click:
1 Choose MIDI > Click Options.
2 Configure the click parameters as needed for
your MIDI sound source.
3 Select the desired MIDI sound source from the
Output pop-up menu and click OK.
4 During recording or playback, you can turn
the Click on or off with the Metronome button
in the MIDI Controls display of the Transport
window.
Saving Sessions
As you build a session by adding tracks and
changing session controls, you will want to save
your work. Pro Tools provides three ways to save
sessions.
To save a session:
■ Choose File > Save Session, Save Session As, or
Save a Session Copy In.
Save Session Saves the currently open session
file, leaving it open for you to continue work-
ing.
Save Session As Creates a duplicate session file
with the name you choose, and leaves the dupli-
cate open for you to continue working. It does
not create a new Audio Files or Fade Files folder.
This can be useful if you want to experiment
with different arrangements in the session with-
out affecting the original session.
The Note, Velocity, Duration, and Output
options in this dialog are for use with MIDI
instrument-based clicks and do not affect
the Click plug-in.
Refer to the Pro Tools
Reference Guide for
more
information on configuring Click op-
tions.
