Roland TD-8 drums: how to midi record?

I am trying to record via midi my Roland kit, using the sounds IN the module, not the ones in GB. I have a MIDIDsport 2x2 USB interface and am using 2 MIDI cables plus the USB cable into the Mac. I can easily get the MIDI notes recorded but can I ever get GB to trigger the Roland module?
Thank you in advance!

Not physically possible with ANY computer or ANY software:

You would need to connect a Line-Out of the drum machine to a lIne-In on the computer, or Audio Interface ( http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/GBFAQ.html#interfaces )
I ever get GB to trigger the Roland module?

How can I record my roland V-drums on my Ipad as I listen to tracks already there?

I want to make a few tracks in Garage Band (guitar, keyboard, bass) and then record my Roland V-drums along with them as I listen to the tracks. I want to use the audio out of the v-drums - NOT the MIDI. I'd like to do this with any generic line in, actually. What cables do I need, and how do I set this up in Garage Band? I have seen other posts allude to various methods but one question I have not seen clarified is: Will I be able to hear the other tracks on the Ipad as I play along with them?
thanks,
Paul

Thank you, that did just what I wanted. It also works in GarageBand if you select guitar amp as an instrument. Select a clean amp for input and turn monitor on, and you can hear whatever you're piping in via the iRig along with the other stuff you have already recorded.
For those who do not know what the iRig is, it allows you to connect a 1/4" jack from a guitar or other device at the other end, as if the iRig were an amp. You then connect the device to the headphone jack on the iPad. There is a small female end on the iRig for a headphone to plug into. This allowed me to set up a bass and one other instrument playing on the iPad as I recorded my drums.
To record the drums, I created a track with the Guitar Amp as an input, selected a clean amp as the amp of choice (you can add effects if you like, but I just wanted as true a sound as I could get). There is an icon on the upper left hand of the screen that looks like a jack or a plug. Select that and turn the monitor on to allow you to hear the sound on your headphones.

How can I record and edit using an electronic drum kit to midi on a windows based PC (That I will eventually use in Garageband)?

Hi there
I know this isnt really a Garagband question and possibly a little off GB topic, but in the end I will be using the midi file in Garageband so it kind of is
I'm new to Midi recording so please bare with me.
I am looking to do the following.
Have my drummer record from his Session Pro DD505 electronic drum kit (which has a midi out) into his windows based computer via midi (He owns a usb to midi cable), so that he can then email me the midi file, so I can add it to a song in Garageband on my Mac. I will then choose the sound of the drum kit myself from Garageband.
He needs to be able to correct any errors he has made in the midi file before emailing it me, either by re-recording sections or by moving the incorrect drum notes to the correct beat.
I guess he would need to be able to hear the song that he is playing along to, and possibly have a click track playing at the same time.
So I guess what I am looking for is some FREE windows software to be able to record midi drum files into, that can also be used to edit the midi file after. A separate free piece of software could also be used to edit the drum midi files instead though.
I know that I can correct the midi drum files myself in Garageband, but I would rather my drummer spent the time doing this, not myself.
I've spent a bit of time googling this today but keep bringing up the wrong things as I'm probably using the wrong search terms.
So, any ideas?
thanks

You will be able to use the Cubase AI4 with any audio interface. Another option is to look for a 30 day demo of software like Reaper http://www.reaper.fm/index.php It won't stop after 30 days... just your concience needs to respond
Problem is though that if all you want to record is the MIDI then your drummer will also need some drum sounds in the form of a software instrument or a 3rd party VST to load into the recording software. So another program that comes uncrippled but has drum sounds in it is Ableton Live http://www.ableton.com/products However this can be an intimidating piece of software and it also cripples itself after 30 days.

In Garageband, why won't the Roland HD3 V-Drums hi-hat trigger any midi at all? (It works when it's used as audio)

My drummer bought the Roland HD3 V-Drums recently, and I bought a Mac Mini (to record on Garageband).
When we record as audio from the V-Drums (using an audio interface) everything seems to work fine - but (of course) we can't change the sounds etc as it isn't midi (and we want to use midi).
When we record as midi from the V-Drums (using a midi to USB cable) there are two major problems. Firstly, the hi-hat doesn't pick up at all - despite the fact it works when it's used as audio. When the hi-hat is hit, it doesn’t trigger any midi at all. The second is that the drums occasionally trigger a double hit. This issue I can get over (though it is annoying and it shouldn't happen) as I can manually delete any extra hits.
I wouldn't expect two expensive pieces of kit (Apple Mac and Roland V Drums) not to work perfectly on something so simple. Please can you advise me of how to resolve this?
(For info, I've emailed Roland the same issue too.)
Thanks.

While connected to GarageBand hold down Variation and 7 on the HD-3 to reassign MIDI codes. Garageband does not recognize the HH "edge" codes so I changed both of these (HH OPEN EDGE and HH CLOSE EDGE) to match the value for the "bow". With the HH pedal down, hit the center of the HH pad, the screen should say HH CLOSE BOW. Remember the code, then hit the edge of the HH pad. The screen should say HH CLOSE EDGE. Use the Up arrow button to set the value for the HH CLOSE BOW. Repeat the same steps with the HH pedal up so HH OPEN EDGE uses the same code as HH OPEN BOW. To reset any pad to factory value hold down up and down button at same time. Hope this helps!

Roland TD3 Midi Recording Help

I have a Roland TD3 Electric drum set, a Midisport UNO midi to usb interface and Garageband 08.
I Set my drum kit to local controle off. I pluged in the midi cable in the proper inputs, installed all the nessisary drivers. I set up my drum kit as a software instrument. Every time i strike a drum it has a blue dot go off in the time measure box(it's blue). No sound comes out. When i go to record though no midi is recorded. Also when i unplug the cable it tells me the number of midi imputs has changed. Please help me I called Apple for 2 hours we tried to do it still no figured it out.

I'm having the same exact problems with this cable and the Roland TD-6V. It has been driving me crazy. I'm ready to scrap the Midisport uno and go a different route. Does anyone know of an interface that will definitely take midi from a Roland?

BPM from (externally recorded) Midi recorded drums at incorrect tempo when importing into Logic?

Hey there
Yesterday I recorded midi drums to a click track for a song into my iPhone using an IK Multimedia iRig Midi.
I had the click track playing from my iPod (that I had recorded as an mp3 at 148pm) and I recorded the drum beat for the whole song at 148bpm into my iPhone using the iRig Midi Recorder app.
I exported the file from my iPhone to my Mac.
Just to note:
When I play the file through QuickTime it plays fine at 148bpm OK.
If I import the midi file into iTunes, iTunes plays it at 148bpm, and even if I convert it to an mp3 using iTunes, iTunes STILL plays it at 148bpm.
So, if I right mouse click the .midi file>open with Logic
It opens in Logic (With the project set to 120bpm) and the midi track plays at 148bpm, with the metronome playing at 120bpm.
If I then change the BPM of the project to 148bpm, it then changes the BPM of the midi drum file to 183bpm, with the metronome playing at 148bpm.
So, I've tried it another way
Create a new Logic project, set the BPM to 148bpm, then IMPORT the .midi file.
But the midi track plays at 183bpm, with the metronome playing at 148bpm.
So there still the same problem.
I NEED this to line up perfectly with the click track at 148bpm, otherwise I many as well just recorded it live and not to click.
Any suggestions on whats going on here, because something isn't right.
Thanks

Just to note
Ive tested the bpm of the song using a little program called VOX (from the exported iTunes mp3 file) and Vox states its 91.51bpm (Making it 183.02 bpm in my mind)
(I initially tested the bpm manually using http://www.all8.com/tools/bpm.htm, so I'm not bad only being 0.02 bpm out)
I've had just tried the following but its still not right.
I imported the midi track into Garageband and set the project initially (Before importing) to 183bpm and assumed I could just then change the projects bpm to 148bpm.
This doesnt work either.
Upon import of the midi file to GB with the project set at 183bpm, it then plays the midi drum file at approx 227bpm. So its actually sped it up. (tested manual BPM test using http://www.all8.com/tools/bpm.htm )
If I take the projects BPM down to 148bpm, it then plays it at 182bpm (tested manual BPM test using http://www.all8.com/tools/bpm.htm )
If I take the projects BPM down to 120bpm, it then plays it at 148bpm (tested manual BPM test using http://www.all8.com/tools/bpm.htm ). Ah-ha! You might think, so thats fine. Well, yes it plays the drum beat at approx 148bpm, BUT the system still thinks its 120BPM, so it wont line up to the click track at all.
I NEED this to line up perfectyly with the click track of 148bpm, otherwise I many as well just recorded it live and not to click.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

How do I record live drums only while bassist plays along?

If the bassist is going direct into the mixer or the interface, how can i record a live drum track while the bassist plays, but is not recorded, yet heard by himself and the drummer ?
Message was edited by: Geoff J

Here's my equipment:
A mixer the drummer borrowed
Tascam USB-144
The 144 only allows two (2) instruments/mics, etc . . .
So we mic'd the individual instruments of the drumkit up , ran it through a mixer into the interface, then into GB
The bassist had an amp w/a line out
we could not find a way to get it to where
1 .The bassist could hear himself & the drummer
2. THe drummer could hear himself & the bassist
3. They both could be playing simultaneously, but only the drums get recorded
Any configuration we did, it seems like they both would wind up getting recorded on the single track in GB
Please advise

No signal from a Roland SPD-8 drum midi controller

Hello!
I've just purchased a Roland SPD-8 drum MIDI controller. It's quite old, so I've had to get the MIDI to USB converter to connect it, but my computer is picking it up.
No matter what I try, I can't get a signal from it in Logic Pro X. I have a USB MIDI keyboard which works perfectly after being plugged in, but this is one's impossible! I'm lost.What are the correct settings for this? What have I missed??

Spotlight doesn's search Library folders, maybe that's why you don't find anything. Take a look at these two folders and remove anything that you don't need (i.e. remove anything that you don't know - in a basic setup, there should be nothing in there):

i do not know how to set up my stuff for multi channel (track) midi recording in express.
gear: motu micro lite midi interface, powerbook g4, yamaha elctronic drums dtxpress 2, edirol midi controller.
when i get this worked out i will have 3 other keyboards hooked up midi.

basic idea:
someone playing a bass line on the edirol while someone else is playing the midi yamaha drum kit.
also i would like to know if it is possible to keep my edirol connected usb running audio instruments or if i have to connect it midi to my micro lite.
i was told that it has something to do with setting up the environment.
i am midi ******** so please, if you can help, be simple.
thanks much anyone.

I'm not 100% sure about that but I think Logic Express don't allow simultaneous recording of more than one midi track. I think this is a Pro-only feature.

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.

Every time you BULK COLLECT into a collection type the value is overwirtten. So you need to try something like this.
