No one is hoping to becoming a rock star (i think)...

If you say it that way, doesn't that make you wonder why you're participating here in the first place?? At least try to make it worth while?

Hye.need some help.ive tried put the midi in ableton but the track doesnt produce sound.ive turn off all other software and check that asio shows output speaker has no prob.what setting should i adjust so that the sound is produced correctly?

dude, what's ur problem? i just want to play, not pose. if you can't deal with that, too bad.

Added on December 12, 2011, 11:09 amhave you assign VSTs into those MIDI tracks i.e. EZDrummer for the drums? Cello / Strings vst?

have fun, mine crashed 9 times each time i tried to record. memory used to the max. what i did was, export the midi into wav, use the wav instead of the midi and start recording my part.

How do u export to wav?ill try put it wif vst 1st n see

put all the midi into the arranger view. set up all vst for each track then export like you'd normally export your recording to wav.

yeah. that's why we're practicing. and this one republic song is our first one.

violin track coming up tomorrow. still busy in the past few days and also today...promise tomorrow.

Here's a quick hack, no need to import the midi file to wav nor assign a VST to individual midi track:

When you import midi file to Ableton, you must assign a MIDI output port. Using output to the Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth SHOULD make sound.
Here are are screenshots on how you output the sound from the midi track that you imported:


Import the midi track by drag and drop (arrangement view)



At Options -> Preferences -> Midi synch tab:



Select output type in the midi track:



Do the same for the rest of the midi track



To start recording, you should create an AUDIO TRACK, arm the record button and play.
When you want to export the file (your track alone, without the midi), you can just discard the whole midi track (we wont need it anyway).
Hope this helps.

------------------------------------------


Edit: For some very stupid reasons, I can't freeze the track and export the thing (no sound whatsoever)
So I just convert the midi file into a wav file using a midi to wav converter.
This is the converted file:

Hush people, no need to argue here.
I'll do my best to make the final video as nice as possible. I myself do not own a nice video recorder but I will borrow a decent point and shoot camera with video function from my friends.
No issue for me if Deadfrog can't provide a better video, I'll just crop the sides, put some effects maybe. Let's see when I have all the individual completed work in my hands.

Thanks.




LOL of course it will. There's also another solution, where you select all the midi track, play it and freeze the track and copy the freezed track to audio track (so this method is converting midi track to audio track)

Depends on the outcome of this project. We will cross the bridge when we get there. And guys, we need a frikin BAND NAMEE!!

ok,ill use wav converted file that uve provided.when i use the midi sync method,asio cant set my speaker as an output for monitoring.wav converted file is the best solution.i may take some time in recording back the bass track.since this week is quite a busy week for me.but ill try to finish it as fast as i can

Good Luck too all~ too bad I dun have proper recording Eq...if not I'd love to join in

bass track up http://www.mediafire.com/?p19t7x2y3u5i8dv

OK, I need everyone's instant messaging IDs (whether it's MSN live or YM) so we can discuss about this quickly.

So far I have received Bass Track (rarap) and Guitar tracks (me and Deadfrog). How about the others?


As for the Band Name, I need your suggestions too.

Here's my crappy suggestions:

1) 148 Afterthought - because of the confusion made over what will be the baseline bpm for the song. Actually I have some very funny names too to share with haha, here it goes: 148 Bpm Pickle Of The Universe Tuesday, 148 Bpm Against Stare, 148 Bpm Into Blender. LOL

2) Six Instincts (we are 6 people!)
3) Autumn of the Misguided
4) Improvise Trail Of The Junkyard Focus (LOL)
5) Hardly Fiction
6) Potato Major 7th ('Potato' quoted from CDGmaboroshi)

my msn is nahcnats at hotmail
