ProTools 10, installing Ensemble Pro: what am I doing wrong??

Hi forum

Trying to install Ensemble Pro and it drives me crazy. I know how to operate ProTools, but all I ever do is recording audio. 

I started PT and Ensemble, created an Instrument track, inserted Ensemble as a Multichannel plugin.  Connected via '127.....', created two midi tracks, assigned them to channel-1 and channel-2.

Than I created an AUX input stereo track, and assigned the input to 'plugin - Vienna Ensemble Pro RTAS - inst 1 - Insert a. But when I go back to the PT Instrument track I can't choose Ensemble at 'I/O'. The name appears, but it's greyed out.

I've downloaded and eLicensed Ensemble pro and both Solo Strings correctly, I'm (99 %) sure. 

Your help can make this day sunny again.

Hi Dylan, 

Please send me some screenshots to support@vsl.co.at, I´ll take a look. 
If I understand correctly, you want to record some MIDI tracks with the Solo Strings in VE PRO. 

Not sure why you´d insert an AUX channel there... thanks for more details. 

Best, 
Paul

Hi Paul

Thanks for your reply.

The AUX: the installation manual (the part about Protools) wanted me to create it.  

Meanwhile I managed to get sounds from Ensemble after all. So I opened 4  midi tracks in PT, played a few notes on each track and that worked.

I'll have the screenshots made wednesday, when I'm in my studio which is in another city.

Best regards

Hi forum

VE Pro, Solo Strings 1 and Epic Orchestra are running, at last. Thanks to Marnix and Paul.

I'm having a great time exploring it.
