Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi Herb,

This is a little out of my realm. I've never used Protools, but 
maybe my ignorance will help set the ball rolling. First of all, 
congratulations. The Protools stuff is serious recording and 
production--whether you have the HD or the mix versions. Doesn't 
Protools give you the option of taking the DTX as an audio 
instrument or as a MIDI source? Can't you treat them on the same 
level in the software? A drummer might want to record via audio, but 
MIDI will certainly allow more control, and you can get the final 
sounds from anywhere you like once you're in Protools. Sorry, I'm 
sure this isn't much help, but it must be wonderful to have 
questions about such great equipment.

Ed
