So I have a Roland VS-880EX that im recording with but I'd like to edit the mix on my computer. I have a Midi converter and I have Sony Sound Forge but do I need a program to get the tracks seperately recorded on to my computer?

Nov 13, 2006 01:05 pm ya need to burn a data cd (if capable) of the individual .wav files then load them into sound forge....if no cd burner ya might be in trouble and you'll have to play each track individually and record them into the computer one or two at a time.....that's how i did it with my 1680.

Nov 14, 2006 08:32 pm Depending on the version of SoundForge it is only a two track editer. So doing multi track with it would be out. There are several freeware apps out there that would work good for that kind of thing. Unless you have the cash to spend on some like Sonar Home Studio or the lower end mixing programs.

Nov 20, 2006 11:29 pm Well the promoter for my band happened to have a sonar 4 PE laying around so i have that....but now I cant figure out how to get the midi tracks to record onto sonar. I know sonar is getting a signal but i cant figure it out. ive been using the vs-880 template, does anybody know if theres more templates you can download or something

Nov 21, 2006 06:04 pm If you open a new file you will have a bunch of templates to choose from. If your looking for control templates there are tons of them as well.
You need to make sure and arm the track to record, whether its midi or audio you still need to arm the track, and tell it what channel/port to listen to.

Nov 22, 2006 04:31 pm Yeah all it came with was a a nomarl template, not the ex. (kinda wish i woulda just got the regular one) and about arming it, thats just the thing it wont let me arm it. Its like the button is inactive.

Nov 22, 2006 11:11 pm Um, my version of Sonar 4 PE has about 30 different templates to choose from.
But the arming thing, do you have an active and selected midi input port? It sounds like you don't have one yet active in Sonar.
Another thing to look at is do you actually have a midi track created or are you trying to record midi to an audio track? I know it sounds like a dumb question but I know folks who have done tried it.

Nov 23, 2006 01:07 am Yeah they dont have the template i need.
And yeah i have the active input and its selected.
and im sure its a midi track. I really dont get it.
Nov 23, 2006 04:54 am i'm confused....are you tryin' to get audio (guitar, bass, microphones ect.) from the 880 to the computer, or MIDI data (synth, note on/off) to the computer....i'm not sure if the 880 has a midi sequencer on it....although it DOES have midi i/o.....

Nov 23, 2006 01:02 pm uhh, maybe im the stupid one here...im trying to get audio from 880 to the computer. so does that mean i need to use the digital outs and use it like that? sorry for the confusion

Nov 23, 2006 02:09 pm Yes, either the digital outs or the analog outs. That is why you will need a multi track program if you want to edit all the tracks as individual parts. Otherwise you will just be exporting 2 tracks or a final stereo mix.
