Hello,
I'm just learning to record from an AlesisDM5 to Sonar3.
Any help would be appreciated.
So far I have not been able to record from the drumset to Sonar3.
Setup:
1 Alesis DM5 Drum Module
2 Alesis DM5 Drum Kit
3 Sonar3 Producer
4 Project 5
5 SoundBlaster Live Soundcard
6 Pulsar midi cable: in/out on AlesisDM5 to midi/game port on soundcard.
Sonar3 outputs music good, and it does accept the SoundBlaster as a midi i/o.
But when I start a new project in Sonar3 and start recording, and hopefully have set the midi settings on the Alesis correctly; I still get nothing recorded into Sonar3. Perhaps the cable is bad, or perhaps I should upgrade the soundcard. But I am sure it is something I am doing incorrectly.
Any help would be great.

Jul 24, 2007 07:31 am What are you expecting to be recorded? Because all that should be recorded into Sonar is MIDI data, not any actual sound.

Turned out to be a midi
cable. Checked it as a
last resort.
The AlesisDM5 now records great
into Sonar3.
Thanks anyhow,
Joe
Jul 24, 2007 06:14 pm Just wanted to add that the
Pulsartech midi cable works great,
it was a human error on my part.
Just wanted to make that clear.
thanks,

...but technically it's still proper grammar...
Jul 24, 2007 07:10 pm it's just a way of makin' it feel like you're talking instead of writing a research paper. it just reads better to me.

Jul 24, 2007 09:40 pm I'm not into the short line thing either. I forget who else does that here and do agree it drives me nuts.
Jul 24, 2007 10:18 pm Alright,
Enough about my choppy sentences already.
It had to do with my english prof
in college. He said he never gives
anyone an 'A' for the class, so I shortened my
sentences to make sure I didnt
upset the guy.
But anyway,
Can anyone recommend a mixer in the
$1000-3000 range that would be suitable
for home recording.
thanks,
joe
