Can anyone provide a step by step midi recording session walkthrough for me? I am not very good at MIDI, but want to finally demistify something I am sure that I am making more difficult than it is. I have a BOSS DR-880 drum machine and I am running it into the m-audio SOLO interface via SPDIF. I also have been referencing a Pro-tools book I purchased and following their instructions, but I am still stuck. I am get slapback (doubled audio) when I arm the track. According to the book it tells me to turn the local off option off in my midi device. I have called Roland on this and my drum machine does not have an option for this. He told me to turn midi thru off which I tried and I get no signal at all to the armed track. I am able to record the midi to the track and I can even listen to it, but if during recording I enable the proper output for the drum machine, I get the doubling effect. The book talks about what this is, so I understand why it is happening, but so far the only workaround is to not enable the output during the recording. If this is what I need to do then I guess that will have to work, but if anyone knows the proper way then I would appreciate any help. Also, it talks about setting up an aux track for monitoring or if I am going to record it to audio then I need to route it to an audio track....I am confused on which one I need to do.
