Download Hubi's MIDI loopback. It's free. This gives you internal MIDI
ports to work with.
Set PARIS to send MTC through one of the HUBI ports into your software
sequencer.
Set the software sequencer to see MTC in

er. I play keyboards.
A number of years ago when I worked at MF I purchased some pickups they were
by a company called BIAX they are a true stereo pickup and they spread the
strings across the stereo field and they sound amazing. Here's my ? I want
to add some power chords to a song. These pickups use a stereo Y cable TRS
out to 2 1/4 inch L and R.Is there a processor that is stereo in and out.
I don't know if that's the right way to ask but I want to maintain the stereo
image and just get simple power guitar sounds. Any suggestions can I use
any of my EDS effects for this. I also have 2 more of these if you happen
to be lookin for one. A bridge position and a middle or neck position. Thanks
JimHi Jim,
I do not know of any stereo-in guitar processors. There are
lots of stereo-out ones of course, but I do not know of a
stereo-in one that can do good power guitar sounds. You may
need to use 2 Pods or whaterever, or 2 guitar amps.
good luck
DC

>JimWell, in my opinion, the best sounding Digi /M-Audio come from the M-Audio
side. The Pro Mix I/O unit not only sounds better (Pre's)but, is way more
flexible than the 002 or 003.. I hear that the 003 uses the better M-Audio
converters. Having said that, the M-audio Pro-Mix offers a lot of option
that the 002 /003 does not.
The Pro Mix is a multi DAW controller. Whereas the 002/003 does not controller
any DAW but PT LE.. Yes, you can use it as an audio interface (ASIO) with
other DAWs, but you can't control faders, transport etc..
Personally I just purchased the M-Audio ProFire Bridge http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/ProFireLightbridge-mai n.html.
32 adapt I/Os.. Killer. Use the same nice converters as the Pro Mix.
I'm using this thing as my bridge into PT M-powered 7.3 and Nuendo..We curretly
have our board hard wired for the Alesis HD24 &Adat LX20(32 channels) via
analog.. With with ProFire, we attached the to the HD24 &Lx20 vai light pipes...
Now we have 32 channels of killer Analog mixing via a 56 channel Soundcraft
Ghost . So we can route on screen channel
