I am thinking of aquiring a Alesis SR-16 Stereo Drum Machine to use with mbox pro-tools LE sessions. Right now I know zilch about operating a drum machine. My question is: How common is it to use one of these devices for recording? Do they work well and easy to use? Any information would be nice.

If you are going to record MIDI you should have no major problems unless you are using ProTools 6 LE or earlier. If you are recording wave tracks, you need a multiple input interface and you have to assign each track on the alesis to a different output. Then you have to record all the tracks at the same time, or it's going to be the devil trying to get them to record/play in sync. You can record the entire drum sequence as one wave track, but then you'll never get to mix and EQ the track properly.

Hello, I'm new to recording, and I have decided that I need to get drum tracks into my songs. How do I do this with Pro Tools (recent edition)? I was wondering if I can upload them directly, or if I have to play them and record them with a Pro Tools track. Thanks a million! This site rocks. I'm glad I found it. |
