Dank Posted September 25, 2001 Share Posted September 25, 2001 A friend of mine would like me to work with him on a project-he lives in New Jersey, and I live in Pennsylvania. The idea is that he will record a number of digital music tracks into his PC using Cakewalk Pro Audio 9. He will then mail the CD to me where I will open it up on my computer which also has Pro Audio 9. HOWEVER: I much prefer to do my work on my Roland VS1680. Can some kind individual give me the step by step instructions to tranfer the tracks from Cakewalk over to my VS1680 and back again? For midi, I run everything thru my MOTO XT. Thank for your help.

In any case, assuming you are transfering audio tracks, you want to sync up both machines. I would say that the easiest way to accomplish this is with MMC (Midi Machine Control), which basically lets you control the transport of one machine with another. First, press "System" (F5) then "Midi" (F4) on your 1680. Set MMC to Master (if it isnt there already).Then make sure that in cakewalk, the transport is set to slave. Connect your Midi out on the 1680 to the Midi in of Cakewalk. The transports should be linked, and you are ready to record on the 1680. If you are interested in a digital transfer, you can only do two tracks at a time scince the 1680 only has one stereo input available for use. This would involve connecting a digital cable from cakewalk's out to the 1680's in. you would have to go back a few times if you have a number of tracks, which shouldn't be a problem if you are properly sync'd.If you arent interested in the hassle, just bounce analog going from your cakewalk outs to the 1680's ins.If you cant output more than a stereo mix from cakewalk, you will have to do what I mentioned before - after one pass, go back and record another (and so on...) Hope this does the trick! --Sruly-- ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
