Are there options?

Post by ditto »

Okay, I've worked up a couple of good songs on the Volca Sample, and now I want to transfer them to computer so that I can free up the Korg and start on some new stuff. I can export the whole song to a session in my DAW as a single stereo track. But are there options? I'd love to be able to export each part individually so that I had more ability to mix the different parts. Is it doable?

You can just track them in separately as audio, using mutes to keep the other tracks quiet during each recording pass.

Good, thanks. I'll do it that way, then.

How do you line up the different parts correctly in the DAW?

If you have MIDI out from your DAW into the Volcas, then this will also send the start/stop message when you start recording from the beginning of a bar on your DAW, so each track will start from beat 1 and therefore should be synchronised.

No, I don't have those skills. Maybe I'll just get the balance as good as I can in the Volca and export the whole thing.

Thanks very much for explaining that - useful.
