Peter C 16 Posted January 13, 2019 Haven't really used take lanes before, just used lots of tracks. However thought I'd try it out. Recording a MIDI drum track from an external keyboard doing different bits as different takes, e.g. bass drum first, hihat second, etc. Using take lanes in just the one track, when I record the hihat I can't hear the bass drum during record. I've checked the correct preferences settings and there is no problem hearing the MIDI playback during record when bass drum is on one track and hi-hat is on another. Am I missing something?

Peter C 16 Posted January 13, 2019 Anyone? It's doing this consistently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scook 2,487 Posted January 13, 2019 To hear previously recorded lanes, make sure recording mode is set to "Sound on Sound" in preferences or by holding down the record button to bring up the options menu, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scook 2,487 Posted January 13, 2019 I typically don't use lanes in MIDI but tested before posting and it works for me. Added Superior Drummer to a new project as an instrument track with echo enabled, armed for recording Changed recording mode to Sound on Sound Recorded a kick Rewound the transport and recorded a snare...the kick was playing Rewound the transport and recording a tom...both the kick and snare were playing Opened up the take lanes and saw three takes lanes, one for each instrument.

Peter C 16 Posted January 13, 2019 Thanks for checking that out. Suggests there's something not correct with my setup. More investigation..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scook 2,487 Posted January 13, 2019 yes, "input echo" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peter C 16 Posted January 14, 2019 Okay, followed scook's step-by-step - it works. However......... Open new project Select MIDI track 10 with midi in/out enabled, echo on, sound-on-sound selected (my default option) Record bass drum to track 10. Expand track 10 to show take lane with bass drum. Add new take lane. Set to record. Bass drum isn't heard when recording hi-hat. On playback both bass drum and hi-hat are heard. The work-around is to follow scook's process or just use separate tracks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David Baay 506 Posted January 15, 2019 So what’s the difference between your process and scook’s? Just that you’re creating lanes manually? Either way, it should be working so long as the lane isn’t armed individually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peter C 16 Posted January 15, 2019 Well.....that got me thinking why is there a record button in the take lane? David I did what you suggested but then my hi-hat recording after the bass drum just gets assigned to the bass drum take lane as well. If I hit the record button in the take lane the hi-hat is allocated there but that's when bass drum playback can't be heard. I'm not really looking for a solution, just interested to know why it's doing this. I think it's easier for me to record to separate tracks and not use lanes.

David Baay 506 Posted January 15, 2019 Do you have 'Create New Lanes on Overlap' enabled? Even though you're manually creating your own new lane, you need to have this enabled to get CbB to use it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peter C 16 Posted January 15, 2019 Yes, got that on in the record section of preferences. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kurre 159 Posted January 16, 2019 General midi uses midi channel 10 for drums. You are writing about midi track 10. Maybe some mix up with that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peter C 16 Posted January 16, 2019 I use midi channel 10 for drums from my external keyboard. My midi tracks in cakewalk are organised from 1 to 16 and track 10 is for channel 10 drums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
