It's too complicated to just load up and reason your way through it. Experience with Sound Forge will barely even get you ready for how complicated it is. You need to start reading the reference guide.
Just the preferences dialogs go on for screens and screens.

I'm fairly new in Pro Tools and after a successful registration of my iLok, what was not that easy, here are the next issues. I'm experienced in using Sound Forge. So I'm not new in sound editing but in using a multi track editor. After installing and starting PT 9 I created a new session. At first I imported an audio file. It was a wav file. But now I don't know how to go on because when I press spacebar for listening to the file, nothing happens. I searched where to adjust the internal sound card of my iMac but I couldn't find anything like that. Probably PT is adjusted to the MBox but I haven't connected a mbox. So you see I really stuck right at the beginning and it was nice if you could help me to start working with Pro Tools. Thanks and best regards Jürgen
