Help With M-powered & Reason/rmx Recording, pro tools+ virtual instrument problem . . . Options

[fishboisfo]

Can someone please help me ?! I have been trying to understand this, and I can't. When I open up a virtual instrument -- RMX, Reason, etc in M-Powered, It won't record. Not as an Instrument track; not as an audio track. I can hear it through my monitors when I play it, but as soon as I arm the track to record, there is no recording, no record levels, nothing. I can record, ut nothing gets recorded. I have tried the busses -- and frankly, they are confusing; I have tried the in/out tabs for 1-2 / 3-4. It still will not record the audio.

I have 2 books on ProTools -- I'm lost. Any information would be beneficial

Thanks !!

Hi

your instrument track will record midi info but not the audio - try outputting inst track to bus 1-2 and then create a new stereo audio tack and input from bus 1-2 and record to that. If you dont see any audio coming in put PT in record anyway as there is a PT monitor command but i dont know where in mpowered.

Once you have created the instrument channel tracked, added the Reason to to the insert section of the track, then add an additional audio track, you should then be able to route output (instrument/reason) track (Bus1) to Input track of the audio track (bus1 also-but on the input). Make sure your audio track is record armed. Hit play . You should see an audio signal on the new audio channel, once you hit the arm button. When you start the hit record and play, the Reason Drum track should record straight to the audio-track in real time.

Either that, or export them as audio songs, which they will be converted in a stereo wav file, and then import them back into the software channel. Hope this helps!
