Multiple Inst tracks recorded @ the same time

I AM TRYIN TO RECORD TWO INST TRACKS AT THE SAME TIME USING TWO SEPERATE MIDI DEVICES. IS THIS POSSIBLE, AND IF SO HOW IS IT DONE ?
THANKYOU.

Ok, let's try step-by-step.
I'm assuming you already have in the arrange window two instrument tracks for Inst1 and Inst2 such that you can play/record each instrument individually.
Now proceed as follows
1. Open the environment and choose the Audio layer. From the New menu choose the Channel Splitter. It appears on the window. Make sure that its Icon box is checked in the parameter box. Then draw cables from output1 to Inst1 and output2 to Inst2.
2. Open the arrange window. Create a new track. Click and hold the track name, from the popup menu select (Channel Splitter). Voila, now we have the channel splitter track!
3. Make sure the channel splitter track is selected.
4. Make sure your midi devices are sending on midi channels 1 and 2.
Now you should be able to play and record both devices at the same time. The recorded notes will first appear on the channel splitter track. After recording select the region and apply 'Demix by Event Channel'. This will create two new tracks containing the recorded notes of each instrument. For playback drag both regions to the original instrument tracks.
Good luck! Feel free to ask if something doesn't work as expected.

  • Preview multiple video tracks at the same time.

    This may have already been covered at some point on here but I was unable to find it. Please forgive me if it has.
    I'm editing a 2 camera presentation for a company. I've laid both cameras in the sequence. Camera 1 is on V1 and Cam 2 on V2. They are in sync and ready to go. My questions is, "Can I preview or monitor both tracks at the same time as if I was switching this live?" I want to be able to preview cam 1 at the same time cam 2 is playing on the canvas so I know when to cut V2 and switch to V1. Is this possible to do in FCP? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
    Thanks!
    Mike

    It's not your only option, though you could do that if you wish.
    You can still finish the edit with multiclip...(provided your clips are still in sync)
    With your playhead at your last cut point, option-click on V1 to activate it's track selector as the only one active, then hit the 'f' key (this will load clip one in the viewer at that point in time). Set an inpoint on clip 1, the do the same for V2 (clip 2)
    Next select both clips in the browser and hit control-click / Make Multiclip. Choose 'Synchronize using: In Points', click ok.
    Now dbl-click the new multiclip in the browser, make V3 active and hit F-10 (overwrites the multiclip onto V3)Next, dbl-click the V3 multiclip in the timeline, go to the top/center button of the viewer and set the Sync to 'Open'. Then, single-click in an open space in the timeline, place your playhead at the head of the new V3 multiclip and hit the space bar. You should see both clips rolling in sync in the viewer.
    Check the manual for Multiclip button bars and any additional settings like activating 'Multiclip Playback'.
    K
    PS - you might want to duplicate your working timeline to test this procedure, then you can always delete the old clips and drop your V3 multiclip on to V1 to finish the edit.

  • Seeing multiple video tracks at the same time?

    I'm using Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 and I have two video tracks on the time line. 2 different angles of the same object. I want to sync the audio and what not correctly. I'm wondering if there is a way to be able to do like a "split screen" on the Canvas so I can see video track 1 on the left and video track 2 on the right (or vice versa)?? If so..help! lol, thanks!
    GC

    You have a few options available to you.
    1) You could use FCP's built in Multiclip functionality
    2) You could set the Playhead Sync to Gang
    3) You could Scale and Center controls in the clip's motion properties to temporarily place the fooatge side by side whilst you edit.
    Check your manual for details on these options, then post back.

  • Help with recording 2 tracks at the same time

    Basically I recently purchased an Audio Interface (BEHRINGER XENYX Q802 USB) and I'm having trouble recording multiple tracks at the same time while using it.
    When I set up 2 MONO tracks in my DAW (one using input 1, the other using input 2) all that happens is that I get a recording of one mic over both tracks in my DAW.
    This is probably a beginner post and I have looked it up on YouTube etc. but it just doesn't work for me... Maybe it has something to do with my Interface, but any help will be much appreciated.

    Hi Pancenter,
    Unfortunately I don't have the manual as I purchased it from a friend who failed to provide me with the Manual.
    But thank you for answering as this was what I needed to do.
    Many thanks
    Olie.

  • How can I record an Audio Instrument (saxophone) and listen to a reference track at the same time?

    How can I record an Audio Instrument, and listen to a reference track at the same time?

    Are you using an external audio controller or the line-in and headphone jacks on the side of your computer? You shouldn't have an issue using headphones when you're recording through the line-in but you may want to make sure you have monitoring on and it's going to the right place.
    If you're using an external audio controller, try making an aggregate device combining the controller and the "built-in output" into the same device. Go to Applications/Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup, click the "+" sign at the bottom left to make a new device and check the "use" boxes to the left of the physical devices you want to use as part of that aggregate device. That is how I use the computer's speakers or headphones to monitor my input as opposed to only being able to use the output on my audio controller.
    Now that I see some of the questions on the side of this page I realize that the 13" MBPs seem to have only one combined input/output jack... That is an incredibly stupid feature. What on Earth could possibly justify that design decision? I suppose if that's the problem you're having you'll have to buy some sort of splitter (if they even make them) or get an external audio controller like an Apogee Duet or something along those lines. I would be furious if they combined those two jacks on all of the MBPs.

  • I'm trying to record audio into my iPad2 using GarageBand and an iRig, but I can't monitor my tracks at the same time as recording, meaning if I lay down a drum track and attempt to record guitar, I can't hear the drums while recording. Thoughts?

    Hi, I have this exact same problem. I haven't been using an iRig, just a cheap USB-jack cable. I managed to do this with the first cable I bought, but since it broke I've been unable to find a replacement that allows me to hear the drums while recording. DId you manage to get over this issue? If so I would really like to know how. Thanks and best wishes.

  • In Logic 9, is there any way of editing the take folders of, say, 7 different drum tracks at the same time, so that each track has the same changes applied to its takes?

    Thanks. I know how to select multiple tracks in the mixer, did that and put on group clutch,
    Hi
    Wrong..
    To assign tracks to a group, click in the dark gray box just above the automation (Read/Write/Off etc) on a channel strip, and select the group number you wish to use. The first tim eyou assign a group, the Group Setting swindow will appear automatically, thereafter you need to click on the group area and choose 'Open Group Settings'.
    Make sure that you have turned off Group Clutch (this disables all Groups)
    Maybe this will help

  • Why cant I see BOTH video tracks at the same time?

    I read all the manuals,I swear.
    I make film collage and want to do multiple layer exposures of different clips.
    So far I just have two video tracks-
    Why cant I see BOTH video tracks at the same time,I mean each track will create another layer,or exposure that will both play back viewable simultaneously right ?Or would that be considered "layering"?
    Does this have anything to do with the source vs. destination thing ?

    FCE plays back video tracks in a "top-down" manner: that is what's on track 3 obscures what's on track 2 which obscures what's on track 1. You can control scale, position and opacity of each clip on each track so that you can get the layering you seem to be after.

  • Is there a way to see or play two video tracks at the same time?

    I have video shot using two cameras at the same event.  If I take the video and put it in a sequence, say video1 and video2, how can I watch both tracks at the same time so I can edit them?  I tried using multi-camera monitor and have that show video1, while watching video2 in the right hand panel, but it doesn't work very well.  By that, I mean the multi-camera monitor does not play at the same time.  Instead, it stops, then when I play the other monitor it is still until I stop the other one.  Then, it "catches up".  If I play the multi-monitor, the other one is still until I stop the multi-cam monitor.  So, anybody have a better solution that I can use where they both play at the same time?
    BTW, my hardware is brand new and I have a 6-core i7-3930K processor with 16 GB of memory, so I don't believe the problem is with my hardware not being enough to run PPro 5.0 correctly.

  • How do I view multiple inbox folders at the same time in Mail?

    I want to configure Mail to show me multiple inbox folders at the same time. I want to be able to split the screen and show in the top section unread messages, then messages I've marked with label A, then messsges I've marked with label B, then everything else in my inbox (like using the multiple inbox feature in Gmail). Is this possible?

    Just figured it out - I can select multiple messages as you suggested when I am not in full screen mode.
    So once I come out of full screen mode - then the multiple windows open.

  • Problem running multiple folder actions at the same time

    Hi,
    Does anyone have some experience running multiple folder actions at the same time?
    I've written a Applescript folder action that processes some files. When adding some files, the script starts and all goes well. The processing of each file takes a few minutes, but all files are processed correctly.
    However, when adding some new files to the dropfolder, while the folder action is all ready processing other files dropped a few minutes earlier, the process that is all ready running immediately aborts and the folder action is relaunched on the new files, leaving the old files for what they are...
    The same problem occurs with multiple folders, each having a folder action attached. When dropping files in "Folder A", the script starts processing. But if someone droppes files in "Folder B", The script of folder A aborts, and the script of folder B starts processing. When adding more files to the folders, the result is the same. In some casses, when the last dropped files are processed, the os continues where the operation was aborted on the previous files. But this not always happens. To make things worse, when you remove the items from the folders afterwords, the folder actions starts running again on items no longer present in the folder !!!!
    Does anyone know how I can prevent the folder action being aborted when new files are dropped and placing the new files in "Hold", until the previous files are processed? How can I prevent a folder action being aborted when a item is dropped into another folder?
    I've written a small script to test this behaviour. Just create one or more folders and attach the script below. Drop a item into the folder, wait a few seconds and drop another one in the same or another folder. To monitor what happens please check the console.
    on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
              set FolderName to this_folder as string
              set ItemName to added_items as string
              repeat with theIncrementValue from 1 to 15
      delay 2
                        do shell script ("logger \"Folder: " & FolderName & "  -  Item: " & ItemName & "  -  Step: " & theIncrementValue & "\"")
              end repeat
              do shell script ("logger \"Folder: " & FolderName & "  -  Item: " & ItemName & "  -  Done...\"")
    end adding folder items to
    Thanks for any feedback.

    That is pretty much the way Folder Actions work, especially since AppleScript is not multi-threaded.  If you are using them as some intermediate step in a workflow, you might rethink the way you are handling the files (for example, use a droplet instead).  Other options would be using launchd to watch a path or a shell script on a different thread.

  • Every time i play a song in my i-tune 10.6, about up to half way mark, i-tune will automatically skip to the next track and playing it (next track) at the same time as the current track.

  • Multiple running queries at the same time

    Hi!
    I looked around (and RTM) for this but didn't find anything, so I'm asking here.
    I have quite a few long running queries (data loading and such things, warehousing stuff), and I need to be able to run multiple queries/statements at the same time. In TOAD I can do this, start a procedure and while it is running I can do SQL statements in another session tab (it supports threaded sessions - it starts queries in their own background thread/session).
    When I start a long running procedure or query in SQL Developer I can not do anything until the procedure execution finishes. Is there any way (setting/preference) to enable SQL Developer to be able to run multiple queries at the same time?
    I really would like to move away from TOAD, but this is a major showstopper for me.
    Thanx for any tips.

    Hi!
    This post is going to be a little longer, but I have to clarify things out.
    I did not mean to throw any wild accusations, because I did my fair share of RTFM and searching the help. I can tell you that if you put any of these in the help search box:
    session
    non shared
    non-shared
    connection
    concurrent <- I guess this one should yeld something
    multiple
    spawn
    you won't find anything usefull, the article that comes closest, is this:
    "Sharing of Connections
    By default, each connection in SQL Developer is shared when possible. For example, if you open a table in the Connections navigator and two SQL Worksheets using the same connection, all three panes use one shared connection to the database. In this example, a commit operation in one SQL Worksheet commits across all three panes. If you want a dedicated session, you must duplicate your connection and give it another name. Sessions are shared by name, not connection information, so this new connection will be kept separate from the original."
    It does not mention any spawning of non-shared connections from the current one, nor it does mention using a accelerator key combo. But since there could be written something about it, I guess you could call it a documentation bug, because it does not provide any clue to this functionality. The help is definitely of no help in this case. As you can see, I do not throw accusations without trying to find out something first. I guess if someone is not as deep into SQL Developer as you are, there is no way for him/her to know this.
    OK, I tried your suggestion, and (sadly) it does not work as I suppose it should.
    Here's what I did:
    - start a new connection, and enter the following code in SQL Worksheet:
    declare
    j number;
    begin
    for i in 1..1000000
    LOOP
    j := sin(i);
    end LOOP;
    end;
    As you can see, it doesn't do much besides holding the connection busy for a while when executed.
    - start a new non-shared connection from the first one using CTRL-SHIFT-N (as you suggested) and put the following statement in the new SQL Worksheet (with "__1" appended to connection name)
    select sysdate from dual;
    - go to the first SQL Worksheet and execute the procedure
    - while the procedure is executing, go to the second SQL Worksheet and hit F9.
    The sysdate is returned as soon as the first SQL Worksheet finishes and not any sooner. It may run in separate session, but the result is not returned before the other session is finished doing what it is doing. I guess the correct behaviour would be to return the sysdate immediately.
    I verified this behaviour repeating it 3 times starting with a new instance of SQL Developer, each time connecting to another schema and spawning the new non-shared session. The database used was Oracle 10.2.0.3 EE on RHEL 4 UPD3.
    The concurrent execution lacks concurrency. The statements might be executed concurently on the database (i did not went the extra mile to verfiy this), but the returning of results is just not independent of other sessions. To the end user this is as much concurrent as it is serial execution.
    I hope developers get this issue straightened out soon, as I said, I'd love to move away from Toad, but I'll have to wait until they fix this out.
    Is there anything else that can be done to make it behave correctly?
    Kind regards
    Alex
