I load up the 4 sounds into PLAY each assigned to its own midi channel. (Please let me know if all above steps are correct).ĭue to my needing only but a few tracks so far I have not needed to have two instances of EW open at the same time. I then make sure my keyboard can play it and sound is correct. I activate a "soft synth", select PLAY, go to browser, select the sound I want, assign it to a midi channel, create a midi track, assign input to my midi keyboard, output to PLAY and make sure track midi chanel matches that of the instrument I want. But I am getting ready to do my grand finale score and that will require more. Average number of MIDI tracks: For light underscoring so far I have not needed more than 2 to 4 midi tracksi. MIDI: Using only ONE VST instrument: East West GOLD orchestral brand new in box.Ĥ. (able to record audio tracks NO PROBLEM so everything is setup correctly in ACID).ģ. Recording in anolog 3 & 4 output set to 7 & 8. Interface: using MOTU 2408 connected to Mackie board 16 channels for audio tracks.
Computer: PC 3 GIG ram, dual core, very fast, I edit high res video on this computer so it's very good. I am in desperate need of some help, and was unable to reach tech support as of yet. This is preventing me from getting my work done. I have a deadline to complete my score and keep getting glitches with midi tracks. Using East West for the first time, have tried it both with Cubase 5 (disaster) and now ACID (much better but not working right yet).īare with me as it is possible that I may have done a few things wrong, or made rookie mistakes BUT after talking to my friend who is an expert and seasoned user of EW, he confirmed that my problems are "weird" (I quote) and don't' seem to be something I did. Coincidentally, I am also the composer hence my posting here. Hi guys, quick intro, my name is Faith Granger and I am the filmmaker for cult indie hot rod film DEUCE OF SPADES.
