Anyone else share my difficulty with the help/pdf documents for SX3? I'm trying to find my way round it after switching from VST. Many things are clearly better but when you want to address a "how to" question the help systems just don't deliver. I'm trying to set up to record vocals on one track whilst playing back audio backing tracks. I'm using a Presonus 1394 two channel audio interface - I know it's basic- but then I need only one audio channel in. The rest is done using midi input from a Roland keyboard.
I'm sure the answer to this one is pretty basic but I can't find anyhting in the manual to help me. Anyone out there know the answer?

You should be able to add an "Audio" track, make sure you have your input set to the interface L or R or 1/2 input, arm the track for recording, hit record, you should hear your playback and a monitor of your live vocal track...so...before you do a take, set it up, make sure you can hear your vocal, get a good level so you can hear yourself and the playback tracks, and BOOM !! it's Rock and Roll time...as always check your drivers if you can't hear anything coming back at you...good luck...

Thanks for the help - got it working now. Sadly now hitting problems which probably need more serious action. Running OS10.4.7 on G4 933MHz with 1.25Gig RAM. In SX3 find that more complex arrangements - say 8 tracks - seem to give problems of overload when I use compression and EQ. Think I may have to look at an upgrade for the processor. The Sonnet Encore STGH Dual 1.8 GHz looks a likely contender. I'd still have a max RAM of 1.5GHz though. Anyone any experience of this sort of upgrade? Cheers |
