Hi, new girl here with lots of questions about hardware and software.
I've read just about everything I can that is somewhat related to my situation but still have ???? I am a cellist and vocalist and want to make backing tracks to play with live and also make demo recordings on my computer. I come from the portastudio school of home recordings so the MIDI stuff is making me nuts! Here's what I have: imac running OS 9.2 DX7 Boss DRmkII Behringer Eurorack MOTU Fast Lane Metro 5 OMS 2.3.8 grrrrrrr..... cello with pickup (although I usually am miked for studio recording) guitars cables I've tried to keep the basic set up simple but am having problems with OMS I think. Metro doesn't seem to like to work with Free MIDI. I am also having problems playing back audio after recording a track, how am I supposed to hear what I've played to do over dubs? BTW, I downloaded Pro Tools Free to try it out and just can't get the thing to open (memory error 1,010) so I gave up and went with Metro instead because it was inexpensive to start. Thanks for any help, this is a great site! |

Light candle and commence...
[QUOTE]Hmmm. Well, then, let me ask you these burning questions. Since it's an iMac, can I safely assume that it's a USB FastLane, not a serial one? If USB, do you have the latest/correct drivers from MOTU for your system? Finally, have you tried installing FreeMIDI and turning off OMS, just to focus on your DX-7>FastLane>iMac>FastLane>DX-7 and make sure that everything is fine up to that point, without intervening software? Yes, Fast Lane is USB and I have the latest drivers Free MIDI is installed but wasn't running so I turned off OMS and started Free MIDI, no crashes so I checked the configuration, everything seems to be working, meaning a signal looks like it is coming from the keyboard except now I have no audio. I have a pair of computer monitors hooked up to the imac. Would I want to make an audio connection via the mixer? I don't believe I have the proper size connectors to do that. Where does QuickTime fit into all of this? As for Metro and other software, do they only work best with OMS??? I won't ask why Thanks for all the help! |
