Pro Tools Demo Session
The Pro Tools LE Installer disc includes a demo
session that you can use to verify that your sys-
tem is working.
The demo session for Pro Tool LE is named “Fil-
tered Dream.”

1 Insert the Pro Tools LE Installer disc into your
DVD drive.
2 On the Pro Tools LE Installer disc, locate and
open the Additional Files\Pro Tools Demo Ses-
sions Installer folder.
3 Double-click LE Demo Session Setup.exe.
4 Follow the onscreen instructions.
5 When prompted, select your audio drive as
the install location and click Next to begin the
install.
6 When installation is complete, click Finish.
Connecting FireWire Drives
Connect FireWire hard drives directly to a
FireWire port on your computer.
The FireWire ports on 003 family interfaces do
not pass data when they are powered off. If you
daisy-chain FireWire devices from your com-
puter, it is best to connect FireWire hard drives
directly to your computer and not to the 003
family interface. This will prevent hard drive er-
rors and data loss in case your 003 family inter-
face is powered off.
To connect a FireWire hard drive, do one of the
following:
 If your computer has more than one FireWire
port, connect the FireWire hard drive to one
FireWire port on your computer, and connect
your 003 family interface to another FireWire
port on the computer.
– or –
 If your computer has only one FireWire port,
connect the FireWire hard drive directly to your
computer and then connect your 003 family in-
terface to an available FireWire port on the
drive.
Before installing the demo session to your
audio drive, make sure the drive is config-
ured as described in “Formatting an Audio
Drive” on page 158.
The demo session can be opened by double-
clicking the Filtered Dream.ptf file (located
in the Filtered Dream Demo Session folder).
Do not connect a FireWire hard drive to the
second FireWire port on the back panel of
your 003 family interface.
Connecting your 003 family interface to
your computer through a FireWire hard drive
does not support maximum track count. To
achieve the maximum track count, purchase
a PCI/PCMCIA/ExpressCard to increase the
number of FireWire ports on your computer.
For information on supported PCI/PCM-
CIA/ExpressCard FireWire options, visit the
Digidesign website (www.digidesign.com).
