azawawi Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Recording External Synthesizer Sounds I want to record the sounds from my external Yamaha synthesizer. I connected the MIDI and audio ports to my synth. I created an “external MIDI” track and recorded a few notes. I can replay it just fine, and the Yamaha sounds come through. But when I bounce this track I get no sound, even with “real time” selected. Is there a way to record this track as audio? When I control-click the region and select “Bounce and Merge” I see “Bounce In Place”, but it’s greyed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastfourier Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Create a stereo audio track and set the inputs for your Yamaha synth. Record enable it, rewind to the start of your external MIDI region and record. After that you can mute the External MIDI region.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastfourier Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I'm assuming you have the synth plugged into Inputs 1+2 (on the front). Press option-cmd-N or choose "New..." from the Track menu to create a new track. Set number=1, Choose "Audio" as the type, Format=stereo, Input=Input 1-2, Output=Output 1-2. Hit "Create". On your new track, press the record enable button (the "R" button should be red - you have probably seen this before on your External MIDI track). Play a few notes on your synth and make sure you have a good level on the audio track channel strip meters. now go to the beginning of where you recorded the MIDI and press record. This is the equivalent of a "bounce in place" for external synths. That's it! Let us know how you get on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
