Re: [xl7] Using the XL-7 with Protools (or any DAW)

2003-01-06 by erik_magrini@Baxter.com

That's pretty much the only way to do it if you want seperate audio tracks 
in your sequencer.  Time consuming for sure!  I just sit there in front of 
the PC with a good magazine or book while I do that sort of stuff, or I 
dust the studio :)

So I had to make basically 16 sync'ed up passes thru Protools HD.  But it 
was a pain to do and took almost 3 hours for a 4 minute song!  It was so 
cumbersome and timeconsuming I'm wondering if I ever want to go thru that 
process again--seems it would be much easier to just trigger the XL from a 
computer sequencer cuz then you can easily mute tracks on the 
computer...but then you loose that quick-spontaneous asset of composing on 
the XL, which I like.  I'd love anyone elses feedback using a similar XL / 
Daw and how you do it.
