Recording DXi outputs
In SONAR 4 setup, I create 8 MIDI inputs for my MTP/AV and do all the audio setup for my 828mkII. I then create a MIDI track in SONAR and play (and record) my Yamaha P250 Kbrd stuff to a MIDI track in SONAR. I then create an audio track with, say ch1&2 as my audio inputs (my Kbrd's stereo audio output) via the 828mkII. I record my MIDI track to the Audio track and then EXPORT from the File menu to get the mixdown audio (a WAV file), along with any Fx I may use. No problem- a perfectly clean WAV file is created.
Now I do the same thing as above, only I create a blank MIDI and Audio track before recording, and add EDIROL's Orchestrator into the Fx part of the Audio track. I now have another MIDI output available to me- Orchestrator1 (or 2 thru 4). I select this as the output of the MIDI track instead of MTP/AV outputs 1 thru 8, and now I can play back my previously recorded Kbrd MIDI track and hear the Orchestrator's instrument sounds. The audio track shows metering on the screen when I play back the created MIDI file too.
As soon as I arm the audio track and hit record- to record the DXi Orchestrator's instrument sound that's being triggered by my MIDI track, I no longer get any metering on the audio track, even though I hear the Orchestrator's sounds in the MAIN of the 828mkII output on my Mackie 1604. I don't know how to record Orchestrator's output. Does anyone know how to record one or all of the DXi's outputs to a wav file on my HD? I can EXPORT an audio track and get whatever Fx I add, but I don't know how to record the audio track from the DXi.
Thanks-
