Recording or real-time automation with Sonar 3/DreamStation
Posted: Fri Sep 16, 2005 3:29 am
I'm using the Dreamstation synth that came with Sonar 3 to get sound out of midi tracks. I have an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 soundcard and am using Windows XP. I can play a piece just fine. I can also bounce to track just fine to create audio. What I can't seem to do is to arm the track to record and get it to produce audio. It looks like it is trying to work, but instead of producing an audio track with real sound, it produces an audio track with flat (silent) left and right tracks. My reason for wanting to do this is so that I can adjust the a setting in DreamStation "on-the-fly" rather than leaving it at the same value throughout the piece.
It would be equally effective for my purpose if I could arm the track for automation and record the automation for the desired
parameter. I can do this for some parameters (volume for instance, moving the track volume setting in real time). I can also create a track envelope (midi) and paint/draw the parameter, which is my fallback option if I can't get the other two to work, but I'd really like to be able to hear it as I am doing it as opposed to adjust, playback, adjust, playback, etc. Anyone have any ideas?
