Good Evening! I just got Cubase Pro 9.5 yesterday and am trying to record a MIDI track and I can’t for the life of me figure out what I’m doing wrong. I created a new Instrument track, selected Sampletank 3.0 as my instrument and armed record. I’m using a Nektar GX61 MIDI controller, and I hit the keys and I get the sound I want out of Sampletank.
I hit the record button and saw as I was playing the MIDI notes were displayed in the track and I could hear everything fine. As soon as I stopped playback all the MIDI data in the track disappeared.
For the fun of it, I double clicked the track and opened the piano roll editor and clicked in a couple of notes with my mouse and they stay in the track, but actually don’t play during playback.
I’m coming from Sonar and I understand the basics of MIDI, just not sure what part I’ve missed here.
I’ve obviously overlooked something and would appreciate the assist!
I got it working last night, but I’m honestly not sure what I did. There was something checked in my Superior Drummer track that I unchecked and everything started working.
Take a little time and put some information about your system, instruments and specs in a signature. It will help people answer your questions. Youtube is the best way to get some free and paid tutorials. You’ll get it sorted out. Look over your MIDI and Audio set-ups. Cubase Pro can be a bit overwhelming, but, give it time. You’ll grow into it quickly.
I took your advice and updated my sig. I have found a wealth of helpful information and tutorials on YT. Thankfully my time with Sonar helps. I especially like the Steinberg channel and how they are constantly uploading videos to the Cubase sub. Unfortunately this was a self inflicted problem, so the ‘how-to’ things I found didn’t offer much but alas I got myself out of it the same way I got into it. Randomly clicking lol. I’m all good for now and about 30% through my first project
