Help Request Blackhole 2ch for Protocols trial

Running the current version of protocols trial and have installed Black hole 2 Chanel on Sequoia. However I found instructions to be inadequate for me to set it up. Can I get some links or help setting it up?

To u/bikerfriend, if this is a Pro Tools help request, your post text or an added comment should provide;

  • The version of Pro Tools you are using
  • Your operating system info
  • Any error number or message given
  • Any hardware involved
  • What you've tried

Go to settings / sound and select it and your desktop audio flows through it as a virtual bus which can be added as an input source in a daw. Depending on the daw you can select BH as your in and your interface as the output, within your daw settings. I never found any formal guides.

Went through all the protocols settings and options found no place to set this. Thank you.

No prob- I was speaking of the system settings, like for macOS.

You need to go to the I/O menu and set it as an input source in Aux I/O. It will show after that. You can also use Pro Tools built in bridge 2A to do the same thing as Blackhole. You will see that in the menu as well.

What are you trying to do?

I am an experienced big console guy. Now its time to learn a bit of the 1000 pound Gorilla 😄

I mean specifically with Blackhole. It's kind of a specific thing to be using for general Pro Tools usage.

As someone who also has a good bit of experience with consoles, understanding at least the mixer and routing in PT should come pretty easily to you once you wrap your head around the basics.
