Prismer · Post by **Prismer** » Tue Aug 27, 2002 6:27 am

Hi everibody, I have a pulsar2 soundcard and like im a really newbie in production I am having troubles recording midi in logic audio. For example I load a prisma synt in to pulsar and in logic thru midi its all ok... but when I try to record it in " bounce " on logic, on the recording prisma isn´t present

plz can you give me a hand on this?!?!?!?

Thanks
Hugo Romao

just like in the real world,you must assign audio ins to your multitrack(logic)and you must assign audio outs in your patchbay/mixer(pulsar)

Check the Projects thread. I posted a very basic project to run along side Logic.

OK... still having problems... let me see if I make this clear... Ok... I have a prisma connected to midi sequencer source to my mixer and also to sequencer dest. Now... I can ear prisma in logic but when I want to recorded it it doenst show up on the recording file... the only way I can recorded is playing it on logic and at the same time recording it on soundforge. Any ideias?!?!?!

Thanks

Be sure you assign the right inputs in the Logic mixer. Plug the Prisma in an ASIO destination module, not EASI. Did you try the project I posted or should I repost my more recent one. It's still very basic and if you look at the way everything is connected while you refer to the manual you should be off and recording in Logic in no time.

Let me know...

Errrrr... Nop... thanks by your help Paul but I can´t make nothing out of this... Can you post your newest project of logic and maybe putting a synt module connected, so I can see what I am doing wrong. How about being a logic config ptoblem... any ideias?

Thanks

Shit... Real thanks to you paul by the project... but... due to my lack of knowledge maybe... now, I can´t even hear any type of sound... not in logic... not from a simple mp3... I look at the project and see everithing well connected... getting pissed off... Lol
Any ideia?

Thanks for your pacience

well,these connections are just the same as the ones necessary in real life.sfp arrange window is your room the connections are made in.logic is your multitrack deck.midi connections are made in the same way as audio connections.(you need separate circuits for midi and audio)you must enable asio in logic's audio/preferences to have sound in or out.

take your time,it works well.

Ok... I changed the mixer its ok... didn´t figured it out what was the problem with the other mixer. My projects are just as well connected has yours paul... thats not the problem then... I think the real problem is in logic... Coming from a fruitty loops things are a bit more complicated than that. Ok... by steps... in the arrange I open a midi out for a synt, can you explain me plz whats the next step??

Thanks

really it's easy.you need to identify what you want to do and then what needs to connect to what.

you will need(to connect a synth for most every operation)is: a midi source module(the hardware connection from your controller), a sequencer midi destination module(the hard connect into your midi multitracker),and a sequencer midi source(so your sequencer can control the synth).

how you will connect these depends on what you want to do.

i would probably connect the midi source to the seq midi dest and the sequencer midi source to the synth's midi in.connected this way,one must record enable a track in logic to hear(or record midi in) any sound.

connect the audio and you can record that when the midi track is to your liking.obviously, if the synth module is the equivalent of a hardware synth,all the connections need to be made to hear anything.the nice thing about your dsp card,is that it will allow you to use real world skills, virtually.
