Recording Questions

Recording Questions

2005-04-24 by mp7_rulez

Hi everyone

I need some guidance about recording with the MP7.

Here's what we currently do....

Create song and sequence live and record the audio output,
nice, quick and easy, trouble is we need to move things up a gear
coz the resulting mixdowns tend to be "grubby" coz of the lack of
eq on each instrument playing.

What we want to do is really record each part separatley and sequence,
eq and mixdown in our recording software.

Trouble is this takes forever.

So is it better to record the midi data separately, ie 
can we sequence live but record the midi data for each instrument
on its own midi track then use the resulting data to record the audio
out as individual audio tracks ? 

We really need a quick and clean method for recording so that our 
mixdowns are bright clean.

Cheers

Use E-Loader.

Simply work on the song in the MP-7, then when you're done (or at least
partially done) use E-Loader to upload the MIDI file.  Then you can use
a computer sequencer to do the finishing.  It will be far easier to
bonce one track at a time that way by simply soloing one track at a
time while recording.  That way, everything will be lined up timewise
too.

Thanks Aaron, although we use OS X in the studio, however I could use one of our PCs to do that. It would be nice if E-loader was available for OS X.
I've been reading the manual !!! and the MIDI reference on the XL group am am wondering if setting the output of the MP-7 to multi A or B then recording the MIDI data in Logic, this might work OK but I'm not sure about how to set up and record 16 channels at a time. I guess its tme to experiment with a few different options.

I love Cubase SX!

It\ufffds got a lot of Midi features like Quantizing (also for lenghts), Step 
designer, Arpreggiator... You can select several notes and change their 
lenghts, transpose them add or subtract velocities, CC Midicontrolers and 
much more. The interface is very logical and you get familiar within a few 
days for basic operations.

Saludos
T.
