Hi, new girl here with lots of questions about hardware and software.
I've read just about everything I can that is somewhat related to my situation but still have ???? I am a cellist and vocalist and want to make backing tracks to play with live and also make demo recordings on my computer. I come from the portastudio school of home recordings so the MIDI stuff is making me nuts! Here's what I have: imac running OS 9.2 DX7 Boss DRmkII Behringer Eurorack MOTU Fast Lane Metro 5 OMS 2.3.8 grrrrrrr..... cello with pickup (although I usually am miked for studio recording) guitars cables I've tried to keep the basic set up simple but am having problems with OMS I think. Metro doesn't seem to like to work with Free MIDI. I am also having problems playing back audio after recording a track, how am I supposed to hear what I've played to do over dubs? BTW, I downloaded Pro Tools Free to try it out and just can't get the thing to open (memory error 1,010) so I gave up and went with Metro instead because it was inexpensive to start. Thanks for any help, this is a great site! |

new day, same s**t...
Every application on my computer works properly except anything having to do with MIDI. I took your suggestions Levon and still no success. As far as those other utilities goes, it's all I've ever used but I may give TechTools a try. Apple computers are all I've ever owned and used except for the dreadful years that I worked for a record company   I won't be making any changes in systems but this is all very frustrating I'm not looking to make CD's at home, just trying to put some ideas down and maybe make a few interesting tracks that I can take to a proper studio to record later. My idea was that if I get my existing set up to work and learn to use it well maybe I could get some new toys later.... I've got a list! |
