pro tools le 8 max msp

morning man.

well i used pro tools properly (for work) for over a year on pro tools 7.4, so this should still apply to the new update of pro tools 8.

from what i remember what you would need is your patch (obviously) open and pro tools open. and then go to your pro tools plug-ins/effects bar and there should be a section for max/msp there to have a plug-in.
that would be for the audio side. i remember it working for me. and all i done was make sure i done all the usual i/o in max as well to talk to pro tools.

if you are wanting something that links with [hostsync~], which i needed only a few weeks ago. you need to convert the sample rate to tempo. if that makes sense, its early in the morning

here is a little patch that should help with your [hostsync~] from your patch to pro tools
there is most likely a better and much lesser patching way of doing this, but this is what came up for that works fine. it is for audio running at 48000
but i use this for an application, and it does work fine and dandy.
so when you press the space bar in pro tools to start the audio, it should sync with the max patch.
this little patch is for something going 64 steps, like sequencer by using [counter], but you obviously can edit the patch to do what you want blah blah blah...

have fun...
