View source for Making an Instrument Track with Pro Tools

== Overview ==
This article describes making, playing, and recording an instrument track in '''Pro Tools'''.
* The '''Multimedia Lab (MML)''' has MIDI keyboards available, ask a lab aide.
* All other Audio Labs including the Mixing Benches have some kind of MIDI keyboard.
== Creating an Instrument Track ==
* Open a new Pro Tools project. It is recommended to use the default template, which varies depending on the lab.
* The template does not have any instrument tracks load by default, so we need to create one.
** Under the '''Track''' drop down, select '''New'''. [[File:PT create new track track new.png|594x594px]]
