Drum kit sounds with Acid Pro 3.0 -ACID Product Family

Subject:Drum kit sounds with Acid Pro 3.0 Posted by: Cain Date:1/1/2002 12:14:51 AM When I record in midi from my drum machine (Zoon RT 323), the actual drum kit sounds change when I play it back in Acid. Even when I change the midi device (Microsoft Sound Mapper or Santa Cruz DLS synth) the sounds are terrible and lack bass and symbols or hats. Also the midi goes off sync from my loops after a while. Any feedback/suggestions is greatly appreciated.

In other words you have to record the information, THEN have the computer trigger your drum machine with that information to get the same sounds. What it sounds like is happening to you is the information being recorded is then triggering a wave table on an internal sound card. The sounds are usually not so good on these cards. I'm not sure of your setup so I can't tell you to record the AUDIO outs from your drum machine into the sound card, but that is what I would try.
Subject:RE: Drum kit sounds with Acid Pro 3.0 Reply by: Cain Date:1/1/2002 2:35:30 PM Thanx, my setup is simple. My Drum Machine is connected to my PC via Fast Lane USB Midi connector. I have a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz soundcard (If that matters). "In other words you have to record the information, THEN have the computer trigger your drum machine with that information to get the same sounds" How do I do that? Is there a separate piece of hardware I need? Thanx again for helping this "n00b" out :-)
