I need an activation code for pro tools 8? - Digidesign MBox2 Mini with Pro Tools 8 LE

You will need a usb mixer or some other usb audio interface. Most likely whatever you purchase will come with installation instructions. Make sure whatever you get has more inputs than you need for future expansion.

Most behringer transformers are 18Volts 1-2 amps to my knowledge, specially in the smaller units. If you are not sure start with reconnecting a 12 volt (AC) external supply and see how you go. Behringer uses (indicated) 17Volts transformers but that is neither here nor there. Good Luck.

The only Voyetra Midi Orchestra Plus software I can know was written for Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Thus there are several reasons for it to be incompatible with Windows 8. First, it was a 16-bit software; the most common Windows 8 installs use a 64-bit OS. This means that the OS has undergone a number of major changes. The installers are completely different (format/way of talking to the OS). The DLLs that communicate between the software and the OS have also changed. The drivers for MIDI devices will be totally different in the modern OS.

The documentation for Voyetra Midi Orchestra is available here: http://www.turtlebeach.com/support/files/241/ . It is a discontinued product and no one at the company that owns it will be writing a new version of the code for Windows 8. I'm not sure this software will work in Windows 7 32-bit. You might be able to use the software in a compatibility mode from a virtual version of XP. For Windows 7 Pro, Virtual PC and the XP mode package are available as free downloads and can be used if your hardware allows. Windows 8 Pro has Hyper-V but requires a licensed version of any Windows OS that you want to use. For non-pro versions of Windows software, you would need to buy a Pro upgrade. The alternative is to obtain another Virtual machine software (VMWare, for example) and a licensed copy of XP or an older version of Windows. (OEM Windows 7 Pro licenses are still available from many computer hardware vendors.)

I hope this helps.

(Many 32-bit device drivers don't work under Windows 8; older software that didn't run under Windows 7 have similar problems.)

The outputs of these mixer needs to be connected to an active speaker.

An active speaker have an amplifier and a preamplifier.

The unit has a built in mixer as well as individual outputs. You would need an amplifier/speaker that could receive from teh mixed output jack of this. Use BALANCED TRS cable.

Check if the Mbox2 has an echo setting that echos the audio from its input. If you want the audio to loop through the PC then it will have to echo there instead. Check that in "Sound and devices" of the PC are all set to transfer via the MBox for voice and playback instead of the internal PC audio system.

They show the make up of this on You Tube...search for DM10 there.

Swap speakers to find if the problem is the speaker. If the problem follows the speaker it will require repairing.

Early versions of Pro Tools do not support Behringer devices.
The newly released Pro Tools 9 can be calibrated through the Pro Tool Aggregate I/O in your audio/midi settings.
Good Luck, Cody J.

The effects on the PMP powered mixers flash UNTIL you push in on the selector knob. This way you can dial in the next effect number and then push in later to activate when you want it... Could yours possibly be the same technique?
