Bill Ritter from Electric Entertainment reported some problems when using the PD-1 with Protools !!.2.1which were not present on Protools 10 as follows
After going into record and then dropping out of record there is no output when switching to Input!
As I am in LA after the AES I went to investigate. The protools screen indicated that the PD-1 was switching the tracks to input but the only way to hear the input was to switch between playback and input on protools.
After some investigation I found that the following sequence of commands from the PD-1 will solve the problem
1) Switch to record
2) Switch to input monitor
3) Switch out of record
4) Switch back to playback monitor
A unexpected benifit of this command sequence was that some monitor glitching on Protools was reduced.
I will add a option to the PD-1 software for this with a variable delay between steps 3) and 4), when available I will update both the PD-1 web page and this blog.
It has been over two years since the last PD-1 software update, if there are any other requests now would be a good time to make them as it will take some time to get back into thr software and test it.
I did get one request at the AES show - to switch any channel not in Record Safe to Input Monitor when stopped, I can implement this as a option at the same time.
