Tascam 424 To Tibook?

Hi,

Thanks in advance for any help!

I recently bought an Mbox to connect to my TiBook 667/30G/512RAM with Pro Tools 6 & OS X.
I had been using a Tascam Portastudio 424 mkII cassette multitrack.

1) Is there a way to connect my 424 (via the Mbox?) to use it as an external mixer with Pro Tolls 6? If so, is there even any benefit to doing that?

2) I also have a BBE264R sonic maximizer, a Korg DDD-1 drum amchine, and a Yamaha REV100 digital reverberator effects unit. Can I make effective of use of these units in the digital realm? If so, how would I connect them...?
I'm recording acoustic/elec. guitar, vocals, harmonica, some basic keyboard.

Thanks!

Pro Tools 6.0 Install Help Needed....

Hi,

I just received the Pro Tools 6.0 for Mac OS X this morning and am trying to install it (I have a Powerbook G4 Titanium 667 mhz with 512MB Ram and an Mbox).

After installing the software from the CD, I try to load Pro Tools 6.0 but I get an error message "Unable to create DAE deck." Then PT just quits. My system doesn't freeze-up or anything, just the PT stops loading. I have not installed any of the included Plug-ins. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing to no avail. Also, I've tried re-booting after install.

Any helpful suggestions or insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your time!

Sound card for Titanium G4?

Does anyone have any suggestions for sound cards for the Powerbook Titanium G4?  I just got a 667mhz G4 with half a gig of RAM.  I have not  yet decided on which software to buy, and I don't know what hardware I need to add to the Titanium Powerbook.  I want to spend about $500, or thereabouts.  I plan on recording at home with acoustic guitar, electrtic guitar, vocals, and maybe add some didgital drum tracks.  I have some experience witha Tascam 4-track, but want to use the Powerbooks as my main recording station.  Any suggestions? Thanks.
