How do you use the POD HD400 USB recording feature with Pro Tools?

How do you record audio from the usb connection into pro tools? I see the pod hd in my input devices, but nothing shows up in the I/O drop down menu on a track. is this possible? Or do I need to use the analog outs and then use hd edit to change parameters etc. Also, I tried hooking up the hd400 to my rosetta, but the signal was much to low even when i adjusted the input gain on the 800. I guess I just need to find the best way to hook up the hd400 to pro tools to get the best signal. I have a Digi 003 hooked up to an apogee rosetta via adat and both of those are clocked to a big ben. I have an api lunchbox for my mic pres into the analog inputs of the rosetta, and the 003 is monitored via spdif to a dangerous music d-box. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    pro tools requires that you use the pro tools I/O device... so you'll have to go out of the HD and into that device.

    Where is the master set on the 400? Do you have a pad turned on or something in your interface? I find that the signal is a bit low on the XLRs if I adjust the master on the HD400 for using the headphone out...I run it full up and backed off a hair when I hit my EMU interface with the XLRs...

    Hi,

       

      You won't be able to use the HD400's USB audio streaming output as a method of getting signal into ProTools, since AVID/DigiDesign mandates you to use the proprietary interface (your 003).

       

      I think your best bet is to treat the HD400 as any other signal processor through either the 300 or the Rosetta (I've never worked with one of these, so I can't really offer any suggestions on how to get optimal settings with it).

       

      But as stated before, you won't be able to select the HD400 as a USB audio input source in ProTools due to their code requirements. You'd have to go XLR or 1/4" out on the HD400, sorry.
