test to make sure that hardware, software, and
connections are all configured and functioning
properly. The test employs the Demo Session

To begin:
■
Launch Pro Tools and open the Demo Ses-
sion, or any available session.
To play a session:
1

Control Room Monitor section, using the
Main Monitor Level knob to start with the vol-
ume low enough to avoid any ear or speaker
damage.
2
Press PLAY on the Control|24 Transport.

Main Monitor Level knob.
4
To stop playback, press STOP (or press the
