sampling or recording?

20 May 2008, 02:11

hi,

a question for the guys owning a G and another synth.
What I want is to play something on another synth and to record it using G's sequencer.
Can I do that directly or is it preferrable to first sample the sound and THEN record the part, playing it on the G?

For instance, if I have a 3 min continuous part that I play on a V Synth GT (including vocals), can I record it on the G's sequencer? Or would it consume all of the sample memory?

Thanks for helping

You can record it as a MIDI or an audio track. With a MIDI track, the G will only record the notes, and this uses almost no memory, but you will need to connect the V-Synth to the G every time you want to play this song. With an audio track, the sound from the V will be permanently recorded into the G, but will use 10 MB of memory for each minute.

thanks artemiy, but If I record MIDI I'll lose anything I do with the vocal designer, correct?
So either I record audio on the G using 10 MB/min from the sampler or I record it on a multitrack recorder or PC and then import it as audio to the G? Are these my options?

Yes, then you need audio, of course. As for how you record it exactly, that's up to what's easiest for you.
