I have an important question regarding my live setup with Reason 3.0

AdamsGod	Date: September 4, 2005 @ 12:04 PM heres how it is, laptop with reason 3.0 on it, echo mia midi soundcard in the laptop hooked up to an M-audio midi controler. how do i hook up my drummer and keyboard player to the metronom in reason 3.0 through the laptop, but without getting any of the click out from the PA system? hope this makes sence, and that this is posted in the right forum.. thanks.
shadowself	Date: September 4, 2005 @ 12:21 PM I don't know anything about the Echo soundcards, but does it have multiple outs, or just stereo? If multiple, try playing with the audio routing in Reason to see if you can get the metronome routed to a different out. You can then use a headphone amp and send the metronome to your band. If it is just a stereo out, then... hmm. All I can think of is route the click track to another MIDI device capable of making the click noise, and run the 'nome feed from that.
AdamsGod	Date: September 4, 2005 @ 5:15 PM yeah, the soundcard i was talking about has 2ins 2 outs.. so all i need to do is find a way in reason to route the click out to the band, but not to the PA?
shadowself	Date: September 4, 2005 @ 5:27 PM The two outs will be going to the mixer/PA for your stereo Reason output. You COULD use one out for Reason, and one for the click... but your music will be monophonic instead of stereo. And you would have to mess around with drumkit pannings etc. Your other choice is to use Reason to sync to an external MIDI device that can send a click.
AdamsGod	Date: September 4, 2005 @ 5:46 PM ok, i have no clue how to do that.. or maybe i should just get a soundcard with more ins and outs?

You can find a couple of PCMCIA sound cards with break-out boxes... Another thing... Most of these products come with CUBASE LE, and you can use that to route Reason through... And then use another port to play a click track... Or just set up Reason to play a click track you make using the redrum, and you manually patch that through the sound card module at the top of the reason rack... Cheers Z" id="158157">Nooooo! Don't do it guy! That is a PCI card! You might wanna try a USB2.0 or Firewire multi IO sollution, like : This, or This, or This, or These.
