Welcome to the forum. You should record the MIDI from your drums and output the MIDI tracks to your chosen software synth. The soft synth tracks will not be "recorded" without additional steps taken. It can later be Frozen or Bounced to Track(s), if desired. If you want to record the actual sounds of your drum kit, the stereo output is the only way (I write that not knowing if the Roland can transmit audio via USB). If you want to record the actual sounds of your drum kit with each drum on its own audio track, you have to do them 1 by 1, muting all the tracks you don't want recorded.

Definitely something going on. I know I edited the ins file to reflect the correct names, but now it is showing the same incorrect names as the above image. What could cause a text file to be altered?

Sorry, X3 also works.

I also have noticed that one patch name in particular seems to be replacing the actual names in the list, although it still plays the correct patch from the MX. I will then reload the ID.

On a random note, someone calling himself pistolpete has been posting in the Feedback Loop thread. Could it be?

Nevertheless, I'm thinking of going for it despite the fact I haven't recorded anything in a long while. Seventy-one dollars is a great price. Paid $50 for Music Creator 2003 in 2002 at Circuit City. That was essentially MC 2 with a MIDI-to-game port cable. Then MC Pro 24 was, I think, $79 from Cakewalk, mailed disk. Got SONAR Home Studio 6 XL at Sam Ash for ~$179. Could have gotten it for less from Cakewalk, but I wanted it NOW! Cakewalk gave me a copy of MC 6 to try out, but I never warmed to it because it looked so different from SHS 6. Bought the download of X3 for $29 from CW right as Platinum was being released. I know some of you have spent thousands on music software over that same span. I've had CbB ever since it was released, and it works well for me. Still have all the disks, although SHS 6 is the only one I can get to work on my W 10 and W 11 machines. I hope Black Friday lasts until next payday!

Today, it's Winter And My Soul by Grand Funk. It's cold outside.

In the Insert Synth options, the ones highlighted in the green box can determine how many tracks the synth will send audio on.

They're in the process of signing with Tom Cruise and the Precrime Bureau to nuke the spammers when they first think of spamming the forum.

If you didn't already have TTS-1 from an earlier iteration of Cakewalk (Music Creator, SONAR Home Studio, SONAR Platinum, SONAR X1, X2, X3, or Cakewalk by Bandlab), then you can't get it.

You have to be here late night/early morning when the spammers strike. They're usually nuked quickly once reported.

Copy and paste, if I understand you correctly.

I bought something like this Yamaha DD-75 a few years back for ~$130. Not being a drummer, it was easy to get used to and is easy to play. This one comes with a power adapter, unlike mine which had to be purchased separately. I don't know if that justifies the added $170. Has MIDI in/out. Put it on a stand, desk or table when needed; put it against the wall or in the closet when you don't need it.

You don't need an audio driver like ASIO4All for MIDI.

Considering all the work that went into helping you (and others) with this issue, you might consider changing the title of the thread? Maybe add 'Solved' to it?

Will I need screws or glue?

Did you open an amp model?

Thank goodness you didn't have to find a reel of 2" tape at 3 in the morning!

I can't say I've ever heard of one. Why? Just use input 1 for left and input 2 for right, or however you want to connect it.

Welcome to the forum. If you're playing live along with a project and you know where and what patches to use and it's always the same, why not use Insert>Bank/Patch Change?

Mentioning my roommate's piano in another thread prompted me to want to let you know what a wonderful person she was. I knew Ann since 1982 and watched her 2 kids, and now 2 grandkids grow up. I've been living in her house trailer since 2012. Some of you may remember my thread of when her daughter, Jami died a few years ago from pancreatic cancer. Ann was never happy since that time. Ann passed away in May, another friend lost to time. I hadn't thought of it, but the day I went to visit the Sam Ash in Raleigh, I was returning from picking up her ashes at the crematorium. Now it's her granddaughter who is watching TV in the piano room. When her son came here to handle the estate, he told me that Ann wanted me to have the house. But it's empty.

My roommate's Baldwin Acrosonic sits unplayed forever because there's usually someone watching TV in there. I've told this story before, so turn down the volume if you've heard it. I used to work for a blind and drape company that serviced apartment complexes all over the D/FW Metroplex. One of my stops had a baby grand in their lobby, and I started making a point of arriving there at lunch time when I knew the staff was gone so I could bang away on it. The manager caught me once and asked me about my playing, how long, if I had lessons, etc. and if the piano was any good. I told him it was fine except for being a little out-of-tune. A couple weeks later I went by there and there was a man tuning it. It sounded much better after that.

Nothing like a real piano.

Another oddity was the observed average age of the audience. I don't think there were more than 3-4 twenty-somethings in the joint. I think 45 would be the median age at that time. A few folks even older than me.

Welcome to the forum. What are the velocities and/or volumes of the MIDI tracks feeding the soft synths?
