David, zo when I use softhsynths like dimension pro or cakewalk tts, than it's for me recorded while playing a midicontroller like the a-800 pro from roland. so the best choice than is to use synthesizertracks and miditracks? regards Johan _____ Van: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Namens David Ingram Verzonden: donderdag 12 juli 2012 0:15 Aan: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Onderwerp: [ddots-l] Re: difference between miditracks and synthtracks If you record a midi track, be aware that you can use a synthesizer, or a midi keyboard. That doesn't matter but what is important is that you can hear what you've done after you've recorded things. ----- Original Message ----- From: Johan <mailto:johan.piryns@xxxxxxxxx> Piryns To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2012 4:38 PM Subject: [ddots-l] difference between miditracks and synthtracks Hi, I have so you know sonar and caketalking for sonar. A midicontroller a-800 pro from Roland. Now, I was today in keymusic shop in flanders and someone told me that when you want to record a miditrack that you must select a synthesizertrack and not a miditrack. A miditrack should be for use when you have an external soundmodule. is that trough or not trough? regards Johan Pianist/muzikant Meer info: johan.piryns@xxxxxxxxx
