Configuring I/o With Mbox 2 & Pt Le 7, Pro Tools LE set-up Options

[alexbutterfield]

I'm wondering if anyone can advise me how to configure my I/O settings for Mbox 2. I have the book Pro Tools LE 7 Ignite! but the author only demonstrates how to configure the I/O settings for his system, which utilizes a lot of synths and a Digi 002. There isn't enough about the theory behind I/O configuration for me to figure out what I should do in my case.

I have an iMac G5, 1.8 mHz, running Tiger.

So far I have managed to record vocal tracks using a mic and guitar tracks running direct through the Mbox by setting up a "Path 1" in the I/O settings.

How do I set up the settings so I could do two tracks at once of drums, one miking the overhead/snare and one miking the kick drum?

Has anyone here configured the I/O settings for their PT LE and Mbox 2 and can tell me what they did?

I'm more of a rock/pop musician than an electronic musician. I'm more likely to be recording guitars, vocals, drums, percussion, sax, etc. although I do plan to get a MIDI keyboard controller when funds allow.

Thanks.

Create new tracks from file menu.

In the mix window, make sure that the first tracks input is set to input 1 or L
the other track sould be set to Input 2 or R

note:
the input selction should be above the panning and fader controls.

the outputs for both should be 1/2
