Would like to use Ve Pro outside PT's, to access more ram, but still on same PC. Windows 7 64 bit, PT's 8.0.4. When I choose prefs in VEP, I have for audio these options,,,, Asio,(which is used to bypass the PT's software and therefore a no go),,,, Direct sound Digidesign 003R Adat 11/18,, 003R 1/2,,, 003R 3/4,,, ect. and lastly 003R S/PDIF 9/10..... For midi, I have,, FW 003 midi control,,, FW 003 midi in/out,,, 003 midi Async midi control...??? Trying different combonations of these hasn't gotten me much other than an empty box for slave host(?) When instantiating and hitting 'connect' there are no choices?? The video makes it seem so easy, yet the prefs were not discussed??? Its probably something simple, (I would think) that I'm missing,,, and would really appreciate your help!!

Thanks,,,,,,, Mike PS,,,,, that was using an instrument track in PT's, where all VI's are instantiated?!??

Nobody else want to help out here?

I had been able to open VEP by using the VE Server, then opening VE in PT's as an RTAS. But since the upgrade to PT's 8.0.4, I can't open files with VE??? So thought I'd try the 'stand alone' version, not the RTAS, and therefore have access to the 12 gigs of ram I have!

Thanks again,,,,, Mike

edit: maybe Im confused I thought you were using Ve Pro on just one machine,thats what Im doing.
ON one machine when you insert the ve pro in Protools you should see the instance in the window to the left not in the slaves window.
