East West Symphony Gold + Pro Tools = No Sound

So, I've got East West's Symphony Gold working great standalone, in DP5, but Pro Tools seems to dislike it. I've got the RTAS installed, and it shows up, but no sound. I have the same issue with the M-Tron software instrument. Anybody have any ideas? They both work outside of PT, but once I try to get them happening in Pro Tools, no dice.

Inexpensive Home Studio

Hey everyone, I've been perusing the forum, & didn't see anything that quite answered my question, so here goes.
I'm a music student on a tight budget, but i'd like to be able to record music in my apartment. Don't worry, the neighbors don't mind. However, I'd like to be able to do live recordings, as I don't enjoy recording each track separate. So i would need hardware that had at least 6 inputs (e.g. guitar, bass, vocal mic, 2-4 drum mics). I've looked at things like the Digi001 system (I've actually recorded on one, except the engineer wouldn't let me get close enough to really check out their gear, so I didn't get to figure out how the sound got from mics to mixed to Digi) and various other PCI & USB interfaces, but it's DAMN confusing. Any suggestions/advice/warning would be MOST appreciated. Thanks
