~tl Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 (edited) Yep, used it a bit in my time. What do you want to know? Edited April 29, 2010 by ~tl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 A few things, firstly, how to set up external MIDI gear so I can use it for playback and secondly how to set up the connections using an Aux channel so i can record MIDI playback as audio. Audio is a breeze but MIDI is a real pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~tl Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 (edited) You [i]should[/i] be able to route a MIDI track's output to any MIDI port on your hardware using that track's output popup. As for recording the output, I would just use an ordinary audio track. You can't record into AUX tracks, which are more for effects returns and the like. I haven't used MIDI much in Pro Tools, so I can't really be more help than that, sorry. Edited April 29, 2010 by ~tl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 The tutorial I'm using recommends using an aux channel to route the MIDI output to an audio track. The problem for me in setting up MIDI is that there are many naming options and many setting options and its sometimes not clear what is a name and what is a setting. I can still get things set up but its not clear for example, why I can't hear a piece of hardware when I've set up the I/O options, assigned the right MIDI channels on the hardware and set up the audio channels OK. Yet when I select a MIDI channel that is not the channel assigned to that particular piece of hardware, I can suddenly hear its audio output... ...and despite saving the settings as part of the session, I can never seem to recall them! It was so much simpler in Cubase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
