I am trying to record my Sax into Cubase SE. The route is this:
From a Macki mixer, to an OMNI i/o, thrugh a Quattro Midi interface, Midied into a Roland SS88 keyboard Workstation, and on into Cubase in my Mac, useing OSX, Via USB from the Quattro. I can play Midi files thrugh this system out to the mains, But playing the keyboard or the Sax back into the Compuiter isn't working. I have checked all my settings over and over again. Midi thrugh, Local off, Midi soft thrugh, ETC. I have two Midi cables IE. IN and OUT. It seams that I have no Midi signal going back into the compuiter from the Quattro. The OMNI i/o is what I'm using for the Sax. Is this problem between the Quattro and the Compuiter? Or what? Your help would be great. |

you two are crazy, if you aren't trying to get an m-audio omni i/o to convert audio into midi, then you're about to run a cable from your mains outlet into your mac line input (only kidding, i know you didn't mean that kaboombahchuck).
anyway, midi and audio are totally different - audio to a computer is a digital representation of sound (like the saxophone recorded through a microphone into the omni going through usb to the computer). Midi is a computer language that (mainly) tells electronic instruments and computers which notes should be played and when. try not to get midi and audio confused i am city pigeon |
