Monitoring DV Audio while Recording with Mojo and Digi 002 Connected

When setup to capture DV audio from a DV device that is connected to the Avid Mojo, the Avid Xpress Pro application does not automatically play audio pass-through while you monitor the input. Avid recommends the following steps be taken to listen to audio through the Digi 002 while recording through the Avid Mojo:

• Plug the camera analog outputs to Alt Src inputs of the Digi 002.
• Click the ?Alt Src to Mon? button near the top of the Digi 002 to direct that source to the monitor output of the Digi 002.

Digidesign Pro Tools tip: Using Color to Organize Your Session

Using the color coding enhancements in Pro Tools 6.7 is a great way to visualize song structure (i.e. Intro, Verse, Chorus, etc.) within your session. To enable these color coding settings, choose Setups > Preferences and click on the Display tab. By setting the Default Region Color Coding to Marker Locations, all regions that start on or after a Memory Location will be colored the same default color (regardless of track) until the following marker. When placing a memory location, be sure to select Marker in the Time Properties section of the Memory Location window.
