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. The New Tracks submenu will appear; use the drop downs to create a new mono Instrument track.
