Getting an audio interface to work has nothing to do with getting a VI to work. Start at the basics and get one thing working at a time. But then what you post here and provide a utterly muddled description of nothing how do you expecting somebody to be able to help? What exact video/instructions are you following and at what point does that not work? What exactly happens on your computer screen? What exact errors do you get? You will not make good progress if your head is as muddled as it seems here.

YouTube is a good place to look for tutorials, which sounds like you might be doing. I really don't want to spend more money at this stage, so I'm loathe to buy a separate audio interface unless it is critical. I assume this is to do with ASIO4ALL I installed to allow my computer to be used as my audio interface, but I don't know how to go from here. Secondly, the moment I turn Pro Tools on, I have no sound coming from my speakers. They claim to be installed but short of sending in a man with a dog into the inner workings of my computer, I have no idea how to connect the one to the other. The first problem is, I can't seem to connect Pro Tools to the F9 plugins. Alesis also gave me a download of F9 Virtual Instruments. Until we reach the part where we need to make plug-in instruments available. So, I went ahead and downloaded the free trial, got that up and running, and got comfortable with the basic concepts in the videos. While we fix the problems, please take Pro Tools for a spin by getting your free trial.' Pro Tools | First is temporarily unavailable for technical reasons. When I went to download the software that came free with the Qmini, I was told: I have spent a full week, many hours a day, watching You Tube videos and some have been more helpful than others, but it's possible my problems are unique. I think I like it, if only I could get the confounded thing to make a noise. I bought myself a cheap MIDI controller just to get a feel for Pro Tools before spending $$$. Is anyone patient enough for a total n00b? I am so lost.
