OK Steve, let's do a couple of things.
First of all, let's make sure that your I/O settings are indeed set
correctly. I'm not doubting you that you did nothing, so please know that
upfront, but it may be worth us looking at.
So bring up PT, but don't have a session opened, preferably, if you can help
it.
Now, go to your menu bar with vo+M and over to the setup menu. In here, go
to I/O.
Now, not knowing what version of PT you're using, it's going to be slightly
more tricky to trouble shoot this, but I'll give it a go anyway. I'll start
by saying the same thing I'd say to anyone on list. We're working with I O
settings, and therefore, this can potentially make your audio completely
stop working in PT if you do things wrong, so firstly, do exactly as I say,
and B, know that you follow these directions at your own risk. They should
be safe for the most part as we're not gonna be doing anything in here too
distructive, and if you follow me to a T, you should be fine, but just out
of the rare chance you're not, I have to CMA.
OK, so in here, move to the input tab, and hit vo+command+F5 to select it.
I'm not sure how your function keys are set up. You might have to do
fn+vo+command+F5. The point is, you wanna route your mouse to your
Voiceover cursor. Once done, hit vo+shift+space to click the input tab.
Now, we want to select all paths. This isn't going to speak well, I promise
you, so you're just gonna have to do it, and hear me out, trusting with
faith that it's working. Press command+A to select all.
Now, move down to the bottom of the window for convenience sake, then
vo+left arrow until you find the delete paths button. It might just say
delete, I don't recall the exact wording, but it'll be obvious.
command+vo+F5, or whatever on it to route your mouse, then vo+shift+space to
click it. You probably could just do vo+space, but I don't wanna chance it.
Now, find the default button. Route your mouse, and click it with
vo+shift+space.
By the way Steve, if you don't see a delete button or a delete paths button,
then skip that step and see if you see a default button. If so click it.
If you don't see either, then, I don't know what to say, aside maybe
reinstall the drivers for your interface.
Anyway, next, we want to do exactly the same thing but this time, in the
output tab. So go up to the top, click the output tab, just like we did the
input tab. Now, hit command+A again to select all paths. Go down and hit
delete if you can, then hit default.
Finally, do it one more time on the bus tab.
Then go down and click OK.
Now, go to the setup menu, and then go to the playback engine. Make sure
your interface is still correctly selected. If not, set it.
Then close and reopen ProTools, even if not prompted to do so, just to be on
the safe side.
See if that fixes it.
If not, someone else is gonna have to chime in. Before anyone else says,
Whoa! Chris! Dude! That's w'w'w'w'w'wayyyyy! overkill, maybe it was, but
it's how I know to fix this problem when it occured for me a few times, and
9 outta 10 times, this fixed the issue. So, if I'm telling him something
that over complicates things, I'm sorry, but realize I'm just genuinely
trying to help.
Chris.

Subject: Re: recording issue with pt
hi again, i did not copy this message from pro tools correctly. the message
is this.
the track can not be enabled because it does not have open active input and
output assigned.
this did not happen the other day when i started playing around with it. so
i must be missing something.
I have gone in to the set up window, and looked in the play back engine, and
the motu is selected. but i've not made any recordings yet, and don't have
any projects created with tools to prove the motu is working properly with
pro tools.

Hi. having a recording issue with pt.
when i hit the record enable button a track, i'm getting a message saying
the track can not be enabled because active input and output have not been
assigned.
now, here is what i have set up. I have the track selected. on the input
i have gone to the interface, and selected analogue 1 from my motu 869.
the output is assigned to main out 1 and 2 on the motu. from what i can
see, i've set up the i.o. so not sure what this message means. Is there
something else i need to set up.
cheers Steve
