Ron, You're very confused. I never said it couldn't be used with ProTools. You totally misunderstood. What I said to you personally over the phone is, it would be a bit more tricky, as you'd have to set up, most likely, two different devices: one for your playback engine, and another for your input to form your entire IO path.
Though this could be done, you'd have to aggrigate both devices, which normally isn't an issue, but sometimes, depending on hardware, buffer sizes, etc. you can incur audio dropouts or latency. Remember, we're not dealing with Asio here. LOL! It'll work, but you'd have to run line out of the mixer to line in of the mac, and even that can incur some noise in the line especially if the cable is not balanced nor shielded. Your best bet would be to get a TRS shielded cable you could come out of the mixer with, then TS on the other end going to your line in. With USB you don't have to worry about any of that, nor do you in most cases have to worry about aggrigating. Granted, I had a real el cheapo mixer once, don't even recall the model, but it was USB, however, the way it worked, it still had to be aggrigated. This partially is why I recommended the Focusright lineup, especially the Scarlet. Let us know if we can help in any way. I definitely feel the yamaha could work, but for your level of audio production skill, based on working in the studio with you face to face over last christmas, I really feel like you're going to get more frustrated this way than you would trying to get a USB interface working, as usually those just simply work. Plus, the yamaha interface you mentioned, I didn't see listed on the supported certified devices through Avid. That doesn't mean it won't work. It just means it's not guaranteed.

I have to admit I was a bit foolish yesterday, I thought I could get an interface that I saw at my local music store here. I did not realize that the only interfaces that pro tools could really use was ones that have a USB connection. The one I got is the Yamaha MG10 which is fully analog and not using the USB connection that i should have realized this interface is a ten channel analog interface but I guess I learned my lesson well on this 154 dollars shoved down the drain LOL. Unless you all can tell me if it could still be used with protools on the mac? If not then What is a good replacement interface, the one I also had been told about was the Yamaha MG 10XU which has the USB connection has anyone used either of these interfaces? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pro Tools Accessibility" group.
