Syncin' software

autarch	Date: February 7, 2003 @ 3:48 PM Has anyone had any luck syncing audio programs on one PC? A while back I got MIDI Yoke and got Cakewalk, Reason and Acid syncing. But it was pathetic. I had better luck back in the day with a 4-track and FSK. My ideal setup would be to sync acid and Sonar but I can't get it to happen to a workable degree. Should I just settle on one program? I can't do MIDI in Acid (not even 4.0) an I really don't want to have to start making rex files of all my loops so I can use Sonar by itself? What am I missing? Any clues? Thanks.

starseven	Date: February 8, 2003 @ 7:34 PM yeah,.... i was just thinking to myself your first bet might be to get your hands on a mac.... overall there isn;t much differance these days when it comes to mac or pc... unless your doing music... tbut i have never met anyone who hasn;t had problems with it
Thanos	Date: February 28, 2003 @ 7:45 PM what do you mean by syncing? I used acid to make a hip hop dj style mix. It worked out ok. Sounds great but not as innovative as with actual turntables and a whole lot more work. That probably doesn't help for midi. i mean what are you trying to do with the music?
pog	Date: February 28, 2003 @ 7:53 PM maybe it's in your approach... the only way I can see to effectively do this would be to import/export to a common format... i.e. if you wanna add a sound or effect from a certain program that isn't able to use common plugins (like im pretty sure soundforge and cooledit can use directx plugins, but fruityloops and hammerhead cannot). One way to do it would be to export wherever you up to into a wave file... load this into the program with different sounds... make a track of whatever you had in mind... export just the new effects into a new wave file... load back into original mixing program, check/adjust sync (usually not required) Hope this helps
