Recording drop ins with mixed MIDI and Audio tracks using playlists
I'm often recording jazz band sessions where I want to record the piano MIDI as well as the direct piano sound - because I can use a better MIDI piano sample when mixing.
I usually use playlists when the band want to drop in and fix something. So I use 'duplicate playlist' on a group of tracks - and all is good. EXCEPT MIDI. It seems when you duplicate a midi playlist - and record over it - Protools will either destructively overwrite the previous clip - or merge the notes of the second take into the clip (depending on whether you have midi merge turned on). What I'd like / expect is for Protools to keep my old midi clip intact - and create a new one. I guess when I duplicate audio playlists - I could then delete the midi clip from the new MIDI playist. Or I could use "New Playlist" for the MIDI track when I use "Duplicate Playlist" for the audio tracks- but it seems seems a bit clumsy (and very easy to mess up the previous MIDI clip). Am I missing something - does anyone have a good way to do this? |

Re: Recording drop ins with mixed MIDI and Audio tracks using playlists
It sounds like you have mirrored midi editing turned on. Look in the Options menu for Mirrored MIDI Editing and turn it off.

You're right - I've turned that off and it now works like I hoped.
Jimmy - you're a lifesaver - thanks so much! |
