MIDI Recording

Post by Trachnyne »

I'm recording MIDI drums using the pads on my M-Audio MIDI keyboard. But, say I want to overdub a nother track after one recording pass. Is there a way to merge the two MIDI tracks into one, since they will be playing through the same instrument anyway?

If you turn on the overdub record button, you can overdub into the same track without erasing your first pass. Or, if you record your second pass on a separate MIDI track, you can copy the notes from one and merge paste them into the other to combine them.
