General midi files sound output problem in sonar 3 producer
Posted: Thu Dec 18, 2003 8:53 pm
Hi all,
I cant seem to get any sound from midi files i load into sonar.... it would be really handy for me to do this seen as i'm studying song arrangements.
i dont use general midi for production and have never use it b4. i have a Roland GS. and the edirol canvas i got with sonar...
the volume is up on the SW Synth in the soundcards mixer. i have tried different things but nothing seems to work...
Am i correct in thinking you dont need an audio output track when working with GM sounds?
i have set option/instruments to my roland gs gm bank. and have it selected in the channel of the midi track and a patch select theres just no sound...
i tried cubase demo and could access gm sounds in that but i uninstalled that ages ago and sonar is great for me
If anyone has any ideas or can shead any light on this, i would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks alot,
p.s looks like a cool site i just registered
