I recently bought Pro Tools M-Powered 8 software and a Line 6 POD Studio UX1 for my laptop. When I try running Pro Tools it always says "Unable to locate M-Audio hardware" and turns off. I tried searching Digidesign's forums, but all I get was a big wall of computer jibberish that I really don't feel like trying to comprehend. Do I need to buy hardware like the M-audio Mbox? I was under the impression that my Line6 shit would work fine on Pro Tools without me having to spend more money. I'm pretty sure that I read on one of the threads that Blindgreed1 has used Pro Tools, so I'm mainly aiming this at him, but any help is appreciated. |

simple question: do you have m-audio hardware connected? if so which one? |

No M-audio hardware to connect. Would I need something like this? http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/product/MAudio-Fast-Track-USB-Computer-Recording-Interface?sku=703606#new |

POV: Sorry man, my engineer used Pro Tools. I just grunted into the microphone and said yay or nay to the end result. Sounds like Z is your man. |

Sweet. I had used Acid software in the past and I didn't have to buy hardware for that so I assumed pro tools would be the same way. I feel slightly raped, but I can deal with spending 70 bucks. |

nope, that's why people HATE protools. check out reaper (reaper.fm) it's great. i use it for pretty much everything. protools for recording if i'm at a studio. logic is also the best for mixing... but yeah. |

yea pro-tools will refuse to operate without an interface. excuse me it refuses to operate without a "digidesign" brand interface, and seeing as how you have m-powered pro tools you'll need an mbox of some sort, i doubt you could use a digi 002 for that. i have a digi 002 and protools le 7.3 and i love it, its really smooth and has alot of great features. |

Pro Tools is now under the AVID company which is a video editing company. Pro Tools needs an interface |

Well, I finally got the M-Audio Fast Track USB in the mail today. I plug it in, fire up Pro Tools. Still says "Unable to Locate M-Audio Hardware". I'm seriously about to shoot a motherfucker. HGDSHGSLFDHGLDSHG:LSGTRSPOTPESRJSLHGVLHGODFUCKIT Update: Oh my fucking god. I just glanced at the box, and I noticed that it says "Compatible with Pro Tools M-Powered 7". I have M-Powered 8. This had better not be why it isn't working. All the reviews I've read for the Fast Track just said they used it with Pro Tools M-Powered without listing a number.
