Need help recording midi drums

i have a roland td-4 running to LP 9.1 using XLN addictive drums. what my problem is when i try to record my performances it doesn't capture all of the note. like if i play a 16th notes it will only record 8th notes. but when i am playing i can here all of the notes. so i know it is triggering all of the sounds it just isn't recording them. i am sure it is just a setting somewhere i am missing. but i am new to the whole midi thing so i really have know clue what or where to look for it.
Thank you for any and all help it is greatly appreciated!

i am not telling it to.
Well, that you are aware of. Deselect all regions in the arrange window, and look at your region parameters (which are now "MIDI Thru" parameters. Is there a quantize value set there? if so, this quantize is being automatically applied by Logic to every MIDI region to record.
hen i record it shows all of the notes i am playing until i hit the stop button. then most of my notes disappear.
Look at the data in the event list or piano rolls editors - are you saying that not all the ntoes you play are here? Try recording one note - do you get a region with one note in it?
Record one with ten notes - count the events in the event list - are there ten events in there?

Need help recording live drums on seperate tracks.

I used to be a professional recording engineer, and as such took pride in knowing my way around a console. But with GB I am stumped.
I need to record a live drummer, and subsequently place each drum on a seperate "track" as when recording analog.
Being totally new to hard disc recording, means learning all over again. Drums are set & miced, what do I need to make this happen (or is it even possible in GB)?
Watched the seminar for Logic, and sure enough there was a drum kit properly recorded on individual tracks, but they gave no detailed explination of how that was done.
Thanks for all help. I'm retired now, and looking for something to fill my time.

Basically you select the channels for each track in
the DAW. In this case GB.
At the bottom of the 'track info' window on your real
instrument (mic) tracks use the 'input' pulldown menu
to assign channels for each mic for each track you
wish to record on.
In case you are not familiar enough with GB.
If the track info window is not open. You can open it
by double clicking on the track, or under 'Track'
menu use: Show Track Info.
Or keystroke: 'Command I'.
The available channels will be available and show in
the input pulldown menu.
So basically you will want an interface with the
right I/0.
Depending on what you may have been used to in the
past for analog quality.
You may wish to take some time to research what's
available for the right amount of I/O with good pre's
and conversion. There is definitely a line of
demarcation in the quality of analog circuits and
digital converters and clock.
It may or may not matter to you, I don't know but
judging from your past and post maybe worth a
mention. However, I don't know to what standards you
wish to work in.
Standards such as Alan Parsons, Geoff Emerick, and Jeff Lynne.
Also if you want to use outboard analog while
tracking with an interface you may want to have
insert I/O available.
And of course if you are wanting to use bussing
sends, complete editing, etc. within your DAW you
will want start looking at other DAW's like Logic or
PT or DP, etc.
Thanks, I want to get started with GB, and have some basic tracks laid & get Logic in a couple of months. Got to have bussing send/recieve for fx on SN, EQing the kit, compression, etc.
If you are not familiar with other forums here are a
couple that may be of interest to you.

Need help Recording G-Force VST's Like MInimonsta and M-Tron

Hello everyone!
Having a great time with logic pro 7 so far,
I need some help recording my G-Force synths.
Do I use the instrument,Rewire, or Audio tracks?
Any basic setup tips would be golden!
Thanks Folks

You should be using the AU versions... any reason not to or was the VST term used as a generic term for softsynth? They are avalable as AU.
You would use an Audio Instrument track and then where you would set the input if it were an audio track... in audio instrument this is a pop up for your softdynths/samplers.
Once you are ready to commit them as audio files then use "export track as audio file".

Need help recording my band.

What's going on guys, so my band doesn't have enough money to record in a studio right now but we do have garageband 3 along with a mixer with 8 channels. The band consists of 2 guitars, a keyboard, a drummer, and vocals of course. What is the best way to record from home using the 8 channel mixer and using garageband. We don't have drum mics but we are planning on just recording the drums with a single mic. What's the best way to get a good equal sound with all of the instruments? We tried recording and the vocals were just overpowering the instruments, and vice versa. The drums would make the eq peak out and the drums would sound distorted when played back. Should we record drums first? Should we connect both guitars and keyboard to the mixer and record them all on different tracks at the same time? Hopefully someone on here has some knowledge on how to record a rock band, it'd be greatly appreciated if you shared the wealth of knowledge. Thanks guys. Brian

Do i directly connect the
instruments to my laptop via the multimix or do i use
microphones to record everything?
Your choice. I would use Mics.
And do i make an individual track for each instrument?
Yes

Need help with MIDI recording...

Hi Fellow Logic Express Users,
I recently purchased an iMac Intel Core Duo with the Logic Express software program. I have been doing a lot of studying and have created over 25 tunes since I purchased it back in Febuary of 2006.
If there is anyone out there that knows how to perform a mass MIDI dump all at once from my Roland JW-50 Workstation onto the Logic Express through the M-Audio Uno MIDI port I would appreciate your help.
Through the years I have written a lot of music of which I have on floppy disks that load easily enough one track at a time, but I would like to see if it is possible to load all of the tracks at one time onto the Logic Express.
I look forward to hearing from anyone who knows how to do this. Thanks!

select an instrument track in the arrange window and open the library. Select a sound and you should be good. Then sit down with the manual and have a good read.....

Need help recording three shows at the same time

I have the FiOS DVR, and have a problem this TV season. There are 3 shows that we watch that are on at the same time. if we are home that night, we can record two on the DVR and watch the other in another room. Not ideal, but we can handle it. But if we are out, we are hosed. I have an old series 1 Tivo that I would think I could factor in here....which I could timer record on a different TV. Any way to do it on my regular TV? Not sure how I could hook up the Tivo with the DVR and the rest of it.
Thanks!

I have a similar setup with a Replay.
You will need to get a Verizon Digital Adapter for $3.99 per Month and an IR Blaster for your Tivo.
Connect the Digital Adapter (DCT-700) to the FIOS Coax (May need to use a Splitter). Connect the Composite Out cables from the DCT-700 to the Tivo. Connect the IR Blaster from the Tivo to the front of the DCT-700. Configure the Tivo and tell it you have FIOS Cable and Digital Adapter. You may need to find the right codes to use to control the FIOS box from the Tivo.
Once you get it configured you will be able to tell the Tivo to record the 3rd program and it will switch the box to the channel and record it. If the box is near your other Verizon STBs you will need to hide it or cover the IR Sensor so that the remote for the main STB does not control the Digital Adapter.
As an added bonus you can connect the Coax Out from the DCT-700 to your Main TV if it has PIP and now you have a 2nd input source to make PIP work.

Need Help Recording From a PC to Final Cut Pro

Ok First forgive me for my inexperience I'm a Audio Engineer trying to help out my company, because our Video Director left. I work for a Video Game Development company and we always have to record in game video for commercials and this is really becoming a pain to me. The game plays on the PC and I have to record it in small HD segments using a program called fraps because none of the 2 Gig or larger AVI files I record can be opened on the Macs, so I have to go through this crazy conversion process to actually get them to the company that makes our TV commercials. I was Wondering if any of you knew if there was a Box that would let me play the game on the PC and then connect that output to the Mac and Record it in HD directly in Final Cut Pro, and then send that Final Cut Pro Project to the Commercial company. Like using the DVI output of the PC's Video card to a box then output to firewire on the Mac or something like this? Again sorry for my lack of experience and the long post just need some help
Thanks

Short answer yes. Longer one is you'll have to look around to find a solution that works for you. There are converters/scalers that will go DVI to video (HDMI) but then you need a capture card for the FCP system. One possible way is two Intensity cards from Blackmagic Design. Put one in each computer and connect them.

I need help recording on my iPad using iRig

I know that the iRig will work for Garage Band but I need to know it it can play back. Like if I were to play the recorded audio back would it come through an amp if I wanted it too. Also, on microphones that plug directly into the headphone jack there is a third ring around the 1/8in jack that is used for sending audio into the device...what is that called?! Do they make a 1/4in to 1/8in cable that has that third ring?
I would really appreciate some help. Thanks.

Nothing. They'll still play if you have flash installed on a PC. But most website developers should be migrating them to the friendlier HTML 5 video container that plays on many more devices across the board including iPhones and iPads and other mobile phones and tablets.
As far as Adobe, they just stopped development of their mobile version of Flash. (i.e for Phones and tablets).
They themselves as a company are not going away, so their other products such as the PDF reader and Media creation suites and yes the desktop version of Flash are still going to be made.

Need help with midi on an ffado/JACK only system

Hi.
I'm trying to set up both midi playback and the ability to use a keyboard controller on one of my systems.
The system in question is set up with a firewire audio device (ECHO AudioFire4), which I've only ever been able to use by going through JACK. The only speakers I have for this system are powered monitors which connect with TRS cables to my audio interface, therefore I need to use the interface in order to use my speakers.
For midi playback, I have followed the instructions listed on the wiki, which I recall walked the user through installing the synthesizer (in my case, Timidity++), and then installing freepats. This works beautifully on another computer with an ALSA card (I get playback), but I get no sound on the JACK/ffado system. I have tried running timidity manually and using the -Oj option when my jack server is running, but I still get no sound. Is there a way to run timidity++ in daemon mode that makes it transparently operate with JACK?
I'm new to midi, and notably I didn't install the fluidr3 soundfont (wasn't sure if it was necessary), but I also did not do so on my primary machine and midi playback works fine there. I'm also really stuck on getting my midi keyboard to work (admittedly I need to re-read the wiki page there), but at this point I would just like to see that I can get playback at least. Any help is appreciated!

hi patrick
i had a online session in symphony to correct the colors. they re-loged the footage from the original dv tapes using some sort of a very expensive card (thats what they said) and not firewire. that why i ended up with this hugh file. i also got a dv tape version of it but i wouldnt us that as its noticably worse.
about your comment - i tried to drag this hugh file into an 8bit sequence and after rendering i got a really "bad" image - alot of noise in it. why shouldnt i stay with this amazing quality footage ? as i want to deliver on dvd, i want to wait till the lans moment and then to encode to mpeg2. didnt try the 3D, all i need is simple subtitle, no 3D... is that worth trying ?
thanx

I need help recording guitar

I want to use Garageband to record my guitar music. Money is not an issue. I'll buy some gear if I need to. I just don't know where to begin or what to buy. I just want to record from my acoustic electric guitar and maybe lay some rhythm tracks over the top. Mostly just guitar so I can create a archive of my compositions. Put a halfway decent sounding CD together. Any ideas? Where does one begin.

poflynn wrote:
I use a Rode NT2000 condenser Mic and a Beyerdynamic dynamic mic. I also plug the guitar in and record 3 tracks at a time.
Out of curiosity, where do you place each mic and which Beyerdynamic do you use? (oh, and what kind of guitar do you have)?
The Beyerdynamic is a TGX 58 http://asia-pacific.beyerdynamic.com/en/music-performance/products/microphones/v ocals-speech.html?txsbproductdatabase_pi1%5BshowUid%5D%5BshowUID%5D=3&tx_sbproductdatabasepi1%5BshowUid%5D%5BbackPID%5D=49&cHash=e15356a2b4
It was the first mic I got and its probably not the best choice. I have it as a multi purpose mic.
In terms of mic placement I am constantly tweaking. Right now the NT2000 is in front of the sound hole about 1ft-300mm away. The TGX 58 is positioned about half way between the sound hole and the head, slightly closer than the NT. I must admit though its the result of 'monkey see, monkey do.' I got the info from this site http://www.recordacousticguitar.com/ I am currently not happy though with my results. My studio room has to take a large portion of the blame. Its layout and acoustic treatment was not very well thought out, but I am not sure where to begin to correct it. Also, getting to know the mics has been hard. The NT has some adjustments available but I am afraid my 'ear' is still on the steep side of the learning curve. One thing I have noticed is the mics ability to pick up sympathetic string resonance. Its hardly noticeable when listening to the guitar live, but upon playback its maddening. My current project involves recording some of my beginner students compositions. They are single note 1st and 2nd string melodies. I have resorted to shoving a folded piece of card board under strings 3-6 simply to damped the strings. When I just plug the guitar in and record via the bridge pickup, the sympathetic humming is less than what comes from the NT. Once done I then just muck around with all three tracks with fx etc (thats another story).
I use 2 acoustic guitars with bridge pickups. My nylon string guitar is a Greg Bennett C2CE http://www.gregbennettguitars.com/c2ce.html
My steel string is a Yamaha CJ-838S II similar to this one http://www.guitar-museum.com/guitar-231-VINTAGE-YAMAHA-CJ-838S-II-ACOUSTIC-GUITA R . I have had this instrument since new in 1984. I had a pick installed when I had some fret work done and the action reworked in 1993. Its a nice guitar.
Trying to record halfway decent acoustic guitar has not been easy. I am hardly ever pleased. I don't know if I am picky or simply don't know what I am doing. Probably a combo of both. It dosn't help that I have crap monitors as well.
Cheers. G.

Rookie needs help recording DJ set through M-audio Firewire 410

Ok.... ive been reading through the forums and I still can't find help...
Im running GB 3 that came with my Macbook I bought about 4 months ago.
I am a DJ and I trying to record a DJ set/demo.
What I use to DJ is Pioneer cdj-800 x2 and a Pioneer DJM400 using Rane Serato Scratch through my Mac.
I recently bought an M-Audio Firewire 410.
I installed all necessary drivers from m-audio's website (i bought it on ebay so it did not come with the install cd).
I connect the Maudio into the Mac as instructed and set all my inputs/outputs in prefs to the m audio.
The record out of my mixer is via rca so i bought an rca to 1/4" cable. The rca going into my mixer and the 1/4" is going into the first "mic/inst" on the interface.
I created a real instrument track on a new project in GB and set the input to channel 1 (mono).
I play a track..... no sound. nothing at all. i tried the inputs in the back of the firwire and played with the gains. still nothing. i am getting a little frustrated here as you can imagine.
I would really appreciate if someone could walk me through this or at least point me in the right direction.
Thanks a ton in advance.

Perhaps you may need to reinstall the driver again from the M-audio website. The newest drivers don't work well but if you're running the newest OSX 10.4.10 then you have no choice but to use the newest drivers. When installing the new driver, do not have the 410 hooked up to the computer. After it is installed, shut down the computer. Hook up the 410, then turn the computer on, make sure teh 410 is power button is on as well. Once you're computer is up and running, open up the m-audio mixer application that comes with the driver. on the top right-hand corner is a reset button. Click that and a there will be a popup asking if you want to reset, say reset. Next open up system preferences and check the sound. Select the 410 for input and output. You have to also do this again in garagebands prefs. Test your audio out by playing a song through itunes or something. Hope it works.

Need Help Recording Programs from my DVR to my VCR

Can someone please tell to reocrd a program from DVR to my VCR without getting all snow
Here is my set up
TV- Sony
VCR/DVD- Sony SLV-D300P
DVR- QIP7200

How many threads do you need for the same question? This was asked HERE and answered, but you seem incapable of taking the instructions given successfully.
Yellow from DVR Video Out to VCR Video In
White from DVR Audio Left Out to VCR Audio Left In
Red from DVR Audio Out Right to VCR Audio Right In
The inset color of the RCA jacks (color inside the silver ring) matches the cables.
Set VCR to LINE INPUT, play the DVR recording and record on the VCR. If that is too difficult then get Geek Squad or someone who understands how to connect components. The connections are also shown in the DVR manual.
I have been using this exact set of connections for 2 years and it works fine.

Need help with MIDI for Korg M3

My current set up is Korg M3 and Access Virus TI2; audios are hooked into a Behring Xenyx 1204fx (USB) with both M3 and Virus TI2 USB plugged into my MAC.
Right now I'm having difficulty in setting up MIDI tracks on Logic 9 using MIDI channels from my Korg M3. I would please like an explanation/instructions as to how to set up MIDI channels with Logic 9 for my M3.
My Virus has a TI-program that is a plug-in to manage its own MIDI-channels, and was also wondering if Korg M3 had a software similar to that.
Thanks

Hi James
1st check and make sure you have midi coming into Logic. look at the right side of the transport, where it says no in and no out, when you play your keyboard does midi info show up there. if it does, you have midi coming in, if not, then there is a communication problem with your controller
next choose the correct track. there are 3 types of tracks in Logic to record music to:
Audio Tracks, for recording audio, ie voice, guitar etc
Audio Instrument tracks, for playing logic built in virtual instruments
Midi tracks, for playing instruments that are outside of logic, like midi keyboards, modules, and multi VI's
if you are choosing a midi track, these are the default tracks in logic that have the icons, like piano, synth and bass, you will not get any sound unless you have an outboard midi keyboard or module that you are using
choose an Audio Instrument track, they are labeled Inst 1, Inst 2 etc. you have to assign and instrument to them. at the left you will see a channel strip, about the middle of the channel strip there is a Label that says "I/O" this is for in and out and this is where you assign the instrument to be played

Need help recording with two linked firepods and an outboard mixer

Hi!
Well I've been using Logic for a couple of years but always stayed "in the box".
Now that I started working out of the box I encountered a strange problem. Let me explain...
Since recently I have an analog Soundcraft Ghost mixer and two firepods. I linked the two firepods (aggregate device) and recorded 16 tracks into Logic. I sent these back to the mixer through the outputs of my firepods (I used the I/O plugin on each track to get a mono output).
I made the whole mix on the mixer and now I want to record that mix back into logic (in order to have a Stereo mix ready for mastering).
I thought all I had to do was create a new stereo audio track in Logic (choose input i.e. 1-2), connect the master output from the table to input 1-2 on my firepods, set the gain on the preamps. Arm the track, hit record.
Now the problem I have is that what is recorded sounds reeeaaaally strange. It's like distorted or some kinda feedback. Bit difficult to explain. But it sure doesn't sound right at all...
Does anyone knows what the problem could be?
Could it be that with the firepods you can't use an input if you allready use it's output?
If you need any more info, let me know!
By the way, I'm working on a Macbook Pro 2,4 with osx10.5.6 and Logic Pro 8.0.2
Greetz,
NLS

The problem sounds like you have a feedback loop between the outputs and the input. Here's my suggestion:
1 Turn the Mixer control on the Firepods all the way to the right, to make sure the Input signal is not mixed back in to the outputs
2 Mute the stereo Input channel that you're recording on (in Logic) before you arm the Record button
3 After you have recorded your mix into Logic, disarm the Record button, un-mute and solo the channel, then play back
