Here is the setup.
Dell Laptop - Dual core 1.6, 2 gig ddr2, onboard sound
TD-7 triggering EZ Drummer using Toontrack Solo with a MIDI to USB cord
This setup performs great. Good sound with no latency.
I have finally gotten around to installing Sony Acid 6 on my laptop and want to try to record some things. First, I should let you know that I have no studio software experience. What I have found out is that you cannot record a sound that is generated by a program that is installed on the same system as the studio software. Does that make sense? I opened up a simple synth program in Acid and was able to create sound, however no matter what I tried, I could not record it. The only thing that I accomplished was to record myself tapping on the laptop case through what I guess would be an external microphone. This is frustrating.
Do I need to set up EZ Drummer on a completely different computer and then run the audio out to the laptop that has the studio software? I was under the understanding that I could play and record on the same computer.
I you have any advice it would be appreciated. I can also give more detailed info to help solve the problem. Thanks as always.
