Before you start recording with the Pro Tools Recording Studio, you need to connect your gear to the M-Audio Fast Track USB audio interface. Plug your headphones into the jack on the front of the Fast Track labeled with a headphone icon.

Connect an amplifier or powered speakers to the red and white RCA line outputs on the back of the Fast Track. Depending on your speakers, you may need a 1/8 stereo to dual RCA adapter like this one. If you dont have headphones or an adapter, you can connect your computer speakers to the headphone output on the front. It is not possible to use your computers built-in sound card, headphone output, or laptop speakers with Pro Tools.

Dynamic microphones like the M-Audio SoundCheck can be used with the Fast Track USB. Using a standard XLR microphone cable, plug the mic into the XLR Mic Input on the back of the Fast Track. Condenser microphones that require phantom power to operate cannot be used with the Pro Tools Recording Studio without an external power supply.

To record a bass or guitar, plug your cable into the ¼ input labeled 2 and with a guitar icon. If you have a keyboard or synthesizer with a line level output, push the silver guitar/line button IN for line, and connect to the same ¼ input. Depending on the outputs of your device, you may need a Y Cable. If your device has a mono output, connect with a ¼ to ¼ cable.

On the front of the Fast Track USB, the knob on the left is used to adjust the mic input level. This only affects the XLR mic input, not the guitar input. When recording with a microphone, its best to monitor with headphones. If you only have speakers, make sure that you keep the microphone away from the speakers, and be careful when turning up the input level. If the speakers feed back into the microphone you can generate a potentially loud and damaging high pitched squeal.

You want to turn up the level so that the green signal LED responds when you sing into the mic. If the red peak LED lights up when singing, turn the level down. These LEDs are only connected to the XLR mic input; they will not respond to a guitar connected to the 1/4 input.

The Fast Track USB allows you to directly monitor your inputs with no latency or delay. Push the silver stereo/mono IN to select mono. This will allow you to monitor either input on both sides of your headphones or speakers.

The mix knob in the middle controls what you hear through the headphones and speakers. When turned all the way to the left, you will only hear your direct input signal. As you turn to the right, playback from the computer is blended in; and when turned all the way right you will only hear playback from the computer.

The output level on the right controls the headphone and line outputs for your speakers. Sing into your mic or play your guitar and slowly turn up the level. You should hear your input signal in your headphones or speakers. Turn the mix knob to the right and notice how your input signal fades out.

In the next video, well start by creating a new session from a template and taking a look at Pro Tools.

An unemployment lobby group on Wednesday said it was not involved in blowing up ATMs, but only encouraged those without jobs to do so.

"It is ordinary members of the unemployed who are encouraged by Icemusa to continue with the blastings, not only of ATMs, but of all other business and government establishments such as power stations," said Icemusa leader Plaatjie Mashego.

He was responding to an article in Monday’s Sowetan newspaper, in which it was reported that "his organisation was responsible for the ATM blasts that have rocked the country in recent months".

Icemusa stands for the International Campaign for the Establishment of a Ministry for the Unemployed in SA.

He said about 23 members of a group which Icemusa represents – the Malamulela Social Movement – had gone to Swaziland illegally to be trained on the use and safety of explosives.

According to Mashego crime was the only weapon available to the unemployed to draw attention to their plight.

"It is a tool amongst the many others that Icemusa would continue to embrace in order to render both government and business unmanageable."
Zim$/Moloi – Once again I have to expose you for posting fiction as fact.Here is the link to Lynn:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Lynn

What you state as "fact" are ;ittle more than allegations so how about you comment on Dr Albert Schweizer,Nobel Prize Winner who wrote the following:
I have given my life to try to alleviate the sufferings of Africa. There is something that all white men who have lived here like I must learn and know: that these individuals are a sub-race. They have neither the intellectual, mental, or emotional abilities to equate or to share equally with white men in any function of our civilization. I have given my life to try to bring them the advantages which our civilization must offer, but I have become well aware that we must retain this status: the superior and they the inferior.Dr. Albert Schweitzer, winner of the 1952 Nobel Prize for peace, in his 1961 book, From African Notebook.-
Now that seems a bit harsh so try and comment on this piece written by an African on the All Africa site:
Just about every reason-from slavery, colonialism, neo-colonialism to inequitable world trade rules-cited for the backwardness of Black African nations has been so debunked by time that it has now become necessary to look beyond the realm of such contemporary explanations. The maddening inertia of Black people and the mystical forces that keep tamping down our nations, in fact, seem to have their roots deep within us, not from without as has been argued for decades.

What strikes me as most interesting about the above mentioned situation are two facts, the first being that the ANC is doing such a dismal job at running the country that a fellow terrorist organisation who were in all likelyhood brothers in arms with the current regime now feel it necessary to resort to savagery and incoherent behaviour to get their point accross to their former allies, the second being, that the group should be banned and charged in terms of the Terrorism Act and yet this will also in all likelyhood not be done as they are not white as were the members of the Boeremag organisation who have in deed been charged in terms of the said act.
Articles of this nature leave little room for doubt as to the future of South Africa as Africa’s lastest and greatest begging bowl case, you should probably begin bracing yourself for horror stories that will inevitably be shown on your television channels begging for aid to save the uncivilised from themselves.

Ayiza – This kind of behaviour is not "OK" by any stretch of the imagination, you should be outraged by the above article, clearly you are not, and that in itself is the problem with South Africa today, you are prepared to accept the unacceptable merely because it is more convenient than to criticise those at fault who are as per the usual are your political party of choice and their former comrades.

Bosch All Rounder Kit
180 watts.
Variable speed 15,000 – 21,000rpm.
Oscillating function for multi application with one tool for sawing, cutting and sanding.
Accessories include 1 multi material saw blade, 1 plunge cut wood saw blade, 1 delta sanding plate, 6 sanding sheets.
Soft grip for optimal handling and control.

If one of these would be ok what would you go for as i don’t no which one to buy as you get a 3 year manufacturer’s guarantee and more sanding sheets with the worx but the bosch is a better make.
The floorboards that you buy now are 18mm thick but the old ones i got down are 22mm thick so how would you make it level.

I Know I Sound ridiculous But I want My Brand Bigger Than Dewalt!

But I don’t Know Were To Start. Please Give me Some Advice

Get a university degree in INDUSTRIAL DESIGN. Then meet with some manufacturers of plastic injection molding.. and 12 volt battery motor design.
Then learn to speak Chinese to have those monkeys make it for you at a low price…
Then try to find a way to make the Chinese crap hold up for more than one year under actual daily use..
GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!
