Using cakewalk 2000,
When midi song is loaded .....
CW shows the key as "C" Always. Does it know what key the actual song is recorded in ? or does it transpose any loaded song into C automatically upon loading ?????? Is it really in "C" ?????
I have never seen a Midi file loaded that presents any signature other than "C" in my cakewalk 2000.
Since I do not read music and play the harmonica by ear, I need to know what key the song is being played in so I know which harmonica to use with it.
----also-----
I have not yet figured out how to record an audio track of a midi file playing without running it through another player (Vanbasco's) on my desktop and then recording it (into Cakewalk) as an audio file on my Laptop..... then I can accompany myself and record my harmonica as a separate track------ bounce the two together and end up with a composite song.
I have the conextant sound chip on my laptop and also a EDIROL usb interface which drives my monitor speakers..... When I set an inbserte4d audio track to record and then play a loaded mIDI file it does not hear the midi notes as they are played and the recorded track is blank......
Appreciate your comments...
