Why is there a small amount of delay while monitoring audio when I am recording?
Because Pro Tools LE uses the host processor in your computer for audio processing, playback, and recording there
is a small amount of audio delay, or latency, when monitoring audio through the system. The degree of latency is
controlled by the Hardware Buffer Size setting.
From the Pro Tools LE 5.1.1 Menu bar choose Setups > Hardware > H/W Buffer Size and designate the number of
samples (Users of Pro Tools LE 5.3.1 and higher will find this setting under the Playback Engine). The recommended
setting for recording audio is 128-256 samples. For playback, the recommended setting is 512-1024 samples.
Pro Tools LE 5.1 users will also find a feature called Low Latency Monitoring. This feature allows you to record with
extremely low latency and is very desirable for time-critcal overdubs.
To activate Low Latency Monitoring, select Operations > Low Latency Monitoring from the Pro-Tools Menu. Tracks
use Low Latency Monitoring when they are record-enabled, assigned to an actual audio input (not a bus), and
assigned to outputs 1 or 2. When Low Latency Monitoring is enabled, any plug-ins and sends assigned to record-
enabled tracks (routed to Outputs 1-2) are automatically bypassed, and must remain bypassed. Also, these tracks
will not register on meters for Master Faders.

How do I hear what my MIDI Device (keyboard, drum machine, etc.) is playing in the Pro Tools LE
mixer?
In order to hear MIDI playback of a MIDI device in Pro-Tools LE, you must route the analog outputs of your device
into available inputs of the Digi-001 and set up a Stereo Auxiliary track for monitoring.
In order to hear MIDI playback of a MIDI device in Pro-Tools LE, you must route the analog outputs of your device
into available inputs of the Digi-001 and set up a Stereo Auxillary track for monitoring.
* Connect the 1/4 inch L and R outputs of the MIDI device to any available inputs on the DIGI 001(I.E. 7/8 inputs.)
* In your Pro-Tools session, select the File menu and choose New Track. In the New Track dialog box, click on Audio
Track and choose Aux Input Stereo from the pop-up menu. The dialog should now read "create 1 new Aux Input
Stereo." Click on the create button.
* In the Mix Window, set the inputs of the Auxillary track (Aux) to the Digi 001 inputs you have connected to your
MIDI device. (I.E. Analog 7/ Analog 8)
* Bring up the fader on the Auxillary track to the desired level.

Do I need a SCSI drive for optimal performance with a DIGI 001 on Windows 98ME?
You will achieve similar results with qualified SCSI and ATA/IDE drives. The only noticeable performance difference
might be a slight delay upon playback or recording in large sessions when using an ATA/IDE drive.
SCSI is not a requirement for use with the Digi 001, however, if you are working in multiple studios an external
SCSI drive allows easy portability to other Pro Tools Windows 98 SE systems.
If you are thinking about purchasing a SCSI controller for playback and recording with the Digi 001, be advised that
the ADAPTEC AVA -2906 SCSI controller card is the only supported model for Digi 001 Windows 98 SE Systems. We
can not guarantee the performance of other SCSI controller cards. Review the Windows 98 SE Digi 001
compatibility available on our website document for more information: http://www.digidesign.com/compato/
