Recording Reason/Rewire Drums on Separate Tracks

Hi,
I've been using Logic for a while now and am now trying to use Reason's ReDrum to sequence some drums.
I've managed to get Logic to play each drum through a different channel, which is a start. How would I go about actually recording each drum to a separate track? I've set up tracks with the Aux channels as the input, but the sound won't record.
I can output each Aux channel to a separate bus then create tracks with busses as inputs - this DOES record but is quite messy.
Is there an easier way to do this? Something simple I'm missing?

Are you serious?
There is no way to do a live record for each track in Logic when the Reason instruments are wired directly through the hardware interface?
There must be a way to do it. Here is my problem:
1. Wire a Subtractor directly to the hardware interface, Channel 5 for example.
2. In Logic, select an audio track, change the channel to Rewire - Reason - Channel 5.
3. Playback works fine, plugins and effects apply with ease, but there is no way to record to the track. The "enable for record" button to the left of the track dissappears.
Anyone!?!?
Put an I/O Plug-In on the respective Rewire track in Logic and set the output to an unused output of your audio interface, and bring it back in on an unused input (if you're bringing in a stereo signal, i.e. a Redrum sound panned center, then you would have to put an I/O Plug on both the hard left panned Rewire track and the hard panned right track in Logic). Then set the Rewire track's output to No Output and pull the fader down just to be safe. Next go to an available audio track in Logic and set it's input to the same input you brought it back from the I/O Plug and then hit Record enable...and voila! You can now live record each Rewire track into Logic.
Hope this is clear enough. I personally use the I/O Plug to send Redrum sounds out to a hardware compressor/limiter via my AES out and back in via AES in. The I/O Plug really gives you endless possibilities with Rewire tracks. ;o)

HOW DO I MAKE SEPARATE TRACKS????

I am a toddler teacher and I am trying to make a CD of the songs that we sing in the classroom. I recorded each song as a separate track but when I send it to itunes to record onto a CD it stays as one last track. PLEASE HELP!!!

solo each track before export (press the little headphone icon)

How do I record multiple midi instruments in Logic Pro simultaneously on separate tracks?sim

Hi. I am trying to record multiple midi instruments simultaneously into Logic Pro 9 through a MOTU USB Fas Lane so that it is similar to recording a live band.
Essentially:
Track 1: Midi Keyboard - Motu Fast Lane Input A - Logic Pro - Software Instrument (Absynth)
Track 2: Midi Drum Kit - Motu Fast Lane Input B - Logic Pro - Software Instrument (Battery)
Neither Midi device can be set to a separate channel.
I would have thought this was a really common application (recoding from multiple live midi sources like a band would normally do) yet it seems unnecessarily complicated.
I gather what I would have to do involves:
1) Going into the Environment.
2) Creating a Physical Input
3) Creating a Sequencer Input
4) Placing a transofrmer between the Physical Input and the Sequencer Input
Where to go ffrom there I have not got a clue!
Any help would be appreciated.
Incidentally I would also like to record two audio tracks at the same time as the midi track, but hoepfully that does not complicate things further.
Thanks,
Luke

I have it set to Performance mode which according to the owners manual: "This mode makes the XP-30 function as a multitimbral sound
source, and Performance settings can be modified. If you’re
using an external MIDI device to control the XP-30 in this
mode, it will function as a multitimbral sound source."

How to record multiple inputs to separate tracks using an Audigy 4 pro

Hi,
I've been playing with my Audigy 4 Pro and Cubase LE on my windows XP box (since it ships with the card) and have been reasonably impressed with the results I've been getting (nothing amazing to be sure, but more than enough to amuse me).
However, I'm now at the point where I want to record the mic/line 1, line 2, and line 3 inputs all to separate tracks in Cubase LE. I'll be ****ed if I can figure out how to do it.
I've got jacks going into the front of the external Audigy 4 (into all the inputs) but I can't find any option anywhere that will allow me to select multiple recording inputs at the same time. From all of the reading I've been doing it looks like I need to do some ASIO configuration somewhere so that Cubase LE will give me some more VST input mappings.
So firstly, I guess is what I'm trying to do possible with the Audigy 4 Pro and Cubase LE?
If it is possible, what do I do to enable the additional inputs? I seem to have been through all the possible programs and configuration screens at least three times over and am now completely stuck.
Any help, thoughts, pointers, step by step instructions would be greatly appreciated.

Entrop1cLqd,
This is off the top of my head so my memory may be incorrect here but this is what I remember. First off make sure that you have Audigy ASIO or Audigy ASIO 24/96 selected in devices. Then go to VST inputs setup and make sure that they are all active. Note the names in here as that is how the recording is mapped (E.g. if Line In 3 is even with IN 1 then Line In 3 will be recorded from IN 1). Arm the tracks you want to record on and select their recording inputs based on the labels from the VST inputs setup.
This should get you setup.

Is there a way of "merging" songs in iTunes. Several times, I have downloaded from the Internet, or recorded from CDs, then found the tracks broken up to appear as separate "Albums". I have a 5-movement symphony, which appears as 5 separate songs?

Try posting in a more appropriate forum, as this has noting to do with itunes U - the place where University/college/museums post education material.

How to record two mics on separate tracks in GB?

So I've got the Mackie 820i, and two Shure sm58 mics hooked up. I'm able to record, and everything seems fine, but at the moment it's on one track. How do I set it up so that each mic records on a separate track? Thanks in advance for any help.

Can I send Logic drummer separate tracks to different outputs? When I select the separate drum tracks the output is set and not changeable

I am using the Producer drummers in Logic where the different drums parts,(snare, overheads, Kick, etc) are broken into separate tracks. I would like to take some of these tracks (for ex. snare) and route it to a different output bus. When I try to do this the output is not modifiable. Anyone find a way around this?

The question is not to find a way around it, the question is why it behaves that way in your Project.
A Producer Kit is just a Summing Stack, were all the individual Channel Strips (Subtracks) are routed to the same Bus that the Master Stack Channel Strip uses as its input.
In the example of the screenshot, the Summing Stack uses Bus 2, but I selected different Outputs for the firstsix Subtracks, even a Surround Output, whatever is available under the Output Selection Button. Only the "Tom High" Channel Strip is still routed via Bus 2 to the Master Stack Channel Strip.
You can find more in-depth explanations about the Drummer in my graphically enhanced manual "Logic Pro X - How it Works".
Try to use a different Project and see if you can change the output routing there.
Hope that helps

Recording separate tracks

My apologies if this has been gone over numerous times - I've spent the past month attempting to get this answer from a variety of sources but have been wholly unsuccessful.
I'm recording vocals and guitar with two separate mics which I then run into a Presonus Firestudio (which has two inputs) which then connects to my laptop.
How do I get the two signals to separate into two separate tracks in Logic? They always combine into one track no matter how much I've played with the Audio Preferences. Do I need to be activating the Bus in some way?
Thanks so much for any assistance,
Scott

create MONO audio tracks and select "Input 1" for the first and "Input 2" for the second.
Now your two inputs will split to these two mono tracks, which can also be recorded together. If you want to apply stereo FX later, you can use a plugin that has a mono->stereo entry like the stereo delay or the gain utility.

Record Skype Interview Put interviewee on separate track

I want to make an interview podcast using Skype. I have garageband and an M Audio Fast track usb interface. Does anyone know if it is possible to put the interviewer and the interviewee on separate tracks using what I have? Thanks.

The best way to record skype interviews is off the computer.
http://www.podcast411.com/mixer.pdf
Here is the set up I have been using for the past 8+ years for podCast411. If you pan your self left and the other person right - you can record each on your own side of the track and can break out in post.
This will give you the best sounding skype recordings and also the most reliable recordings.
You do NOT want to record in garageband - if you are doing an interview - garageband is very flakey and you will have crashes with garageband and you WILL loose interviews. Do not use Garageband to record your interviews.

Separate Midi Drums To Different Tracks?

Hi,
I have just programed my midi drums on an instrument track.
Is there way to separate the snare, kick drum to separate midi tracks other than manually doing so?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Darren.

Make copies of your drum Instrument track (shift+return) - copy/option drag the regions to the copied tracks - select highest and lowest not in the Inspector of your regions - so kickdrum lowest/highest note C1/C1 - snare D1/D1 - and so on.
Even faster way is to go to the region menue in the Arrange->Split/seperate->separate different pitches (translated form my german menue)
every note will be split up into a new region so you'll have a region with kickdrums/snares and so on.

Having Trouble Recording Skype Interview on Separate Tracks

I'm using the Presonus Firestudio Project Mixer and Adobe Audition to try and record Skype interviews on separate tracks. I am positive I have all cables hooked up properly on the mixer.
Everything works fine except track two, which should only be picking up the other line of the Skype call, is still slightly picking up my voice. So track one is just me. Track two is podcast guest plus still me faintly. I have track one dedicated to mic one, which is me. And track two is dedicated to mic 3, which loops through the back on the mixer to the main outs.
How can I completely eliminate myself on track two so that it only picks up the guest?

I have two XLR Male to 1/4 inch TRS Male coming out of Mics three and four of the Presonus and routing back around back into the main outs of the Presonus. This is supposed to make the loop so the Skype call can record separately.
I'm connecting Audition to the Presonus simply by selecting Mic three for the guests track and Mic one for mine. It's picking up both fine, it's just picking me up on both tracks. The Skype signal is coming into Audition via the Presonus mixer.
All Audition, Skype and Mac audio settings are set entirely to Presonus.

Reason Rewire - serious problem with timing / sync

Hi - here's the problem....
I rewire Reason 4.1 to Logic Pro 8.02.
I try to record a basic drum beat (played in via midi keys) into bar 1 of Logic's sequencer.
I quantize the beat and verify visually that on the very 1st beat of the bar there is a high-hat and a kick drum that should play at exactly the same time - however when I play the sequence back the high-hat is delayed for no apparent reason!! (if i am in cycle mode - after the cycle point is crosssed the kick and hi-hat ARE played together!). If i try to bounce this section the same problem is apparent. Thus making rewire really useless!! It's as if the 1st beat of the bar can only be monophonic or something!
The same thing happens if I record a chord from a Reason instrument (Thor perhaps) - the notes that should all sound in unison on the 1st beat of the bar do not play correctly.
Anyone got any ideas what could be causing this or is it another pathetic bug?

I've had a slightly different but perhaps related problem with Reason in both Logic and Digital Performer. In my case using the Redrum drum machine in Reason and the pattern sequencer in Reason, when you start playback it will make kind of a cut-off squelch kick drum sound on beat 1, then complete silence for about 2 and a half beats, then the sound of the beat will kick in mid-measure.
I haven't done a lot of testing about when and where this happens in the sequence; I work around it by programming 2 measures of silence (pattern D-8 perhaps) into the Redrum before the start of the song and starting the playback from that. It seems like even doing that if you start playback at measure 1 beat 1 it will make that kick drum squelch on the first beat.
Sorry my comments are so vague as to be of little concrete help but I just wanted to point out that I've also had issues on starting up playback of drum beats in Reason when using it in ReWire mode.

How do you separate tracks using effects with patch mix

I step record using a oxygen 8 for my midi stuff and then I use a few tracks of real time audio .I just purchased a e-mu 0404 heard good and bad about it but it seems once you get past all the software issues then, its a quality sound.so far I have a great sound coming out. but cant figure out alot of things so I'll just ask one more. patch mix dsp has alot of cool effects. how do i get those and keep them separate in my recording.using mutiple tracks so if i want to put reverb on drums ,and phaze tyhe guitar, and have the ability to mix down using the separate tracks recorded with different effects.

What software was used to produce the .tiff images?
If it came from Photoshop on a Windows computer, open it again in Photoshop on a Mac.
Save a copy using the Mac compression settings.

No recording of MIDI Controllers in MIDI Track Automation

Surely we need to have MIDI CC recordable as track automation on a MIDI instrument track just the same as it can be recorded to faders in audio Instrument tracks via a transformer. I know there are work arounds like recording to standard object automation then moving to track automation but I want to see all my recorded modulations at once as track automation for all my Logic instruments and MIDI instruments without wasting any time.

This gets asked at least once a week.
From about ten posts underneath this one:

Also is there a way to record all of v-drum midi data into separate tracks?
Record into one track, then use the Split/Demix by Note Pitch function to put each MIDI note into it's own track.

Recording Reason 4 in Logic

I want to record reason tracks in logic. I rewire reason fine, set it to stereo LR, bus 1 output, and then bus input to 1 but when it record I only see a line no sound waves. Then when I close reason and play the sound I just recorded it doesn't play anything.

Can you hear the track you're trying to record?
The way I do it (if I'm just trying to dump the whole Reason song to a stereo file) is to add an aux and set the input to Reason L/R and the output to Bus 1. Then open an audio track and set in the input to Bus 1. Record enable and press play. I check to see that I'm getting levels to the audio track and then hit record. It looks like you are doing the same process.
