Problems with recording an external instrument in Logic
Hi guys,
I'm new to the use of external instruments and I've figured out a lot over the past period but I'm a bit stuck now so I'm very much in need of your help!
For your information my setup is as follows:
- Macbook 15" 2012 version
- Motu 828 MK3 hybrid
- Bass station II (hardware synthesizer) (connected to MOTU via Audio cable and to Macbook with USB)
- Logic Pro 9
My main issues are:
1. I can not 'bounce' the sounds from my external instrument.
- I can record midi notes from the Bass station synth, I can play these sounds back, but I can not export this. I however do not have this issue when I record via an Audio track in logic (track setup as audio - instead of a software instrument).
2. I can not record different sounds from my Bass station in Logic.
- The synthesizer has a variety of sounds / patches but I can only work with one sound. When I add a new track, I can only work with the same sound / patch that I had on the first track. If I change the sound / patch this will automatically also change for the first track.
Really hope you guys can help me out!
Thanks!
