Recording gated audio

sidon · Post by **sidon** » Sat Jun 05, 2004 4:18 pm

Hi,
I Use a bass synth in my Luna , I have a midi gate on the related audio track , for trigering the audio .what I mean uis that I play a long note on the synth (goofy) and then I gate it using the midi gate .
My problem is when I try recording this in the cubase Sx,I get only the long bass notes , but they are not gated .
Why is that ?
For my recording I solo the 3 relevant tracks : the midi notes for the bass , the midi gate notes and the audio channel.

Please help me here I realy need to record this project ASAP.

Thanks alot.
SId

Connect the output of the gate to the asio recording dest...

what is this 'midi gate'? is it a scope plug? coz i can't find it in my plug list (maybe 'midi tremolo'?).
so i suppose it's a vst gate... not much experience with that. checked all midi channels and outports? obvious maybe... does it work when you first record audio and then the gater?
maybe you could also try doing it all on dsp with this device if your luna can handle it.

edit: so someone maybe already helped you out

isn't midi gate a controller modulation like toggling cc#7 between 0 and some value ?
peek at the midi monitor if something like that shows up - it probably belongs to the automation track. Don't have a sequencer myself...

cheers, Tom

Hi ,

The midi gate is a very nice device that comes with the Cubase Sx.
It is like any gate execpt that the triger is midi notes played from a differnt midi track .
thus by puting this gate on an audio track I can gate the audio channel using any midi pattern I like . I can also controll the hold and attak and some more params .

It is like changing the cc#7 , Only in a very dynamic and easy way.

Also i have manged to record the gated audio channel but Only after recording the bass to an audio track and then gate THIS track and record it to another audio track that was finally came out gated ....
I can niot understand why didnt it record the bas track gated from the first Place.

Enjoy Sid

So, you've recorded the long bass note as audio, then you're using the midi gate as an insert on that audio track in Cubase, right ?
If so , you can EXPORT the audio:
Make sure you're soloing all relevant tracks (as you are, I think), and that the routing is set-up correctly in the Cubase export window so you're exporting the right channel)

OR record it back to Cubase via ASIO DEST
