Hi!
I need help with my Sonar Le.
I record my midi piano with strings effect on, program records it (you can see the pitch lines appearing), but when I want to hear what I played - no sound, just green equalizer pumping and silence.
I went through several forums and nowhere my problem is described.
I have tascam us 2x2 sound card.
Any idea?
Thanks a lot!

Hi. Do you use Simple Instrument Track, or separate MIDI and Audio tracks? If you only have a MIDI track, you will need to route your MIDI track to a soft synth / instrument.

Hope it helps.
All the best.

Hi!
 
Dear Zargg,
 
I tried all the three ways described in the link, as well as different tracks to record. It records only when I use MIDI track, but still even though I can see that it recorded my digi piano (connected with a usb cable to my PC) - no sound.
If you can give me your e-mail I could attach pictures of three different ways described in the link. Maybe you could guide me through it?
Thanks a lot!
I feel already quite desperate, because two weeks trying to finish one project and because of that problem I cannot do it...
 

Welcome to the forum.
What is the output of the MIDI track set to?

Hi!
 
Dear Greg,
 
thank You for the time and reply.
It's US 2*2.
If You could give me Your email I could send You the screenshots, for more details. Because I cannot find here a button to add/upload attach screenshots or pictures to the message (no idea how this image url works).
 
Thanks!

A lot of us here value our email security, im sure you can understand that. we are a peer to peer forum helping others solve their problems. so...
My advise is to upload the photo to a free photo site and post the link here with a space between the Https photo. com.
because you don't have more than 25 post you can not post links (for spam security).
post the link and I will take a look at it.
 
Also- open:
-Preferences > Devices: under audio devices, make sure your Tascam is selected (check the boxes)
-Preferences > Midi Devices: make sure your devices are selected (again check the boxes)
-Inset a soft synth using the Insert menu on Sonars menu bar.
-when your "Insert synth properties" menu opens (a pop up box) select Simple instrument track.
(this is just to get yourself started)
 
This will route your midi track to the synth - then via the master bus.
It helps when you are thorough in your explanations when trying to problem solve.
you didn't even mention how you inserted the midi track / your synth.
sometimes this is the problem itself.
 

Hi!
 
Thanks a lot for the explanation, it made some things clear, but didn't solve the problem yet.
I made some new screenshots. From there you can see that I got stock at "insert synth": there I don't know what to choose really and I cannot see my digi piano Yamaha (which is connected to my PC with an normal ab usb cable). Yesterday it was still there but now while trying to make it work I accidentally changed smth.
In fact when I try to record in Ableton or use a Kontakt everything works and the sound is there, but with Sonar there is something wrong. Anyway please see the pictures, I really appreciate Your will to help me. Thanks!
 
Here are links to uploaded screenshots. I put the space after ":". Let me know if you can see them:

I restarted PC and now I can see again the piano under "devices"!

If it helps anyhow...

your clavinova, is that your keyboard device ?
it needs to be enabled in the output section of devices (you need to check that box).

have you installed the driver for that device ? (The clavinova)
find it here: http://download.yamaha.com/usb_midi/
what windows OS are you using ?
