incurab1e Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Hi, When I've got my HD Pro connected to my PC via USB, Pro Tools only recognises that as an interface. I want to use my Focusrite Saffire 56, the usual interface, and to be able to use the HD edit to play around with sounds. Is that possible?

duncann Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 This should be no problem. I don't know the specifics of Pro Tools, but make sure you have the drivers installed for both the HD Pro and the Focusrite. In the DAW, select the Focusrite as the device to use. I assume there is a way to select different audio devices in Pro Tools. That's it. To use HD edit, just run it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incurab1e Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 Hi, thanks for that. The hardware dialogue in pro tools only recognises the HD pro as the interface when its connected via USB. Its like some kind of hostile takeover! :) The focusrite is the default hardware for all audio, and I've been using it to run everything for a few years now. This only happens when the HD Pro is connected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncann Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Is the focusrite still the default device (the OS default) when you plug in, or turn on, the HD Pro? It could be that the HD Pro becomes the default when turned on. If that's what's happening, I think you can just set the default with both devices turned on and it should be good from that point forward.

incurab1e Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 yeah, the focusrite is set as default. The line 6 doesn't become the default when its turned on. The only device pro tools shows as available is the line 6 when its plugged in. So frustrating! Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incurab1e Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 FIXED: Holding N when Pro Tools boots changes the default interface. thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
