Record Hardware Synths in HQ

[Dj Reaper]

As it is an analog synth with limited polyphony it could be that this is the problem and that with digital (hardware)synths you are more flexible. have you also worked with true analog synths? If so, than I may be wrong, if it worked fine with you.

i have an alpha juno, and previously a novation bass station and tr606 and all worked fine, no issues with polyphony (this would cause problems with playing chords etc)

digital synths work in the same way as analogue. I use my virus c in the same way as the alpha juno using midi cc and recording my synth parts in real time and working with the audio, in fact i also do the same with my vst instruments, bouncing them and working with audio.

From listening to your demo it sounds like it is probably a problem with your audio input on your mixer, soundcard or a possible issue with your asio.

I used to use FL years ago, after learning cubase sx, but I moved back to cubase a few years ago. I always found a major latency with FL, usually around 60-80ms, and this really put me off using FL with hardware. But Image Line may have fixed this, I don't know.

just a question, if you recorded your synth patterns in real time, how did you make sure you always got the timing of the notes right? like if you recorded a melody with the hardware synth or something

Well I simply let FL Studio (MIDI Out) play it. And if I input the notes correctly (what I did), no mistakes should happen when replaying it.

Btw if I don´t rout my Soundcard input into Fls mixer I can hear the sound on my speakers when triggered trough FLs MIDI without latency, but if I rout the soundcard into a mixer channel (so that I can see the peaks) I hear it doubled. Any ideas why?

And btw what is more annoying to me than the MIDI issue is that the audio doesn´t sound good, somehow monoish and bassy/muddy, not pristine. That may be the synths sound characteristic, but there must be a way to use it in my productions, how do the others do this?? if I made a song with all softsynths and one Hardware-Sound it would immediately pop out in an unpleasant/not fitting way, and I am asking about how to get it into the whole system.

Just out of curiosity, have you checked the manual yet? I'm pretty sure it describes how to set this up.

Dumb question, which one? The one of my DAW, of my synth or audio interface?
