Live works great if your working with software. The moment you start to mix in hardware, Live punishes you for the sacrilege. Its been this way through many versions despite their apparently trying to clean it up. <div>

I also am a huge Maschine fan and have it in my default Live setup, and it's set up so that I can play on the Maschine hardware and it will take that midi and record it or whatever, and at the same time record midi in Live and have it be routed to Maschine. But I don't have any external midi sync requirements, so not sure how Live behaves (but by your experience not well). <br>

<div>Ok, I am working in a little bit different way right now, and it would helpful if my DAW could do what I want. I posted this question to Facebook, but I thought I would drop it here:<div><br></div><div>Which DAW can do this: Route MIDI to an external device while recording the MIDI from multiple sources, AND have a soft VST (specifically Maschine) play back in sync with that MIDI without needing to go all crazy trying to get everything to sync? Can Sonar do this? Reaper, Live and Renoise all fail this test at various points. </div>
<div><br></div><div>To give more detail, I have a couple of hardware sequencers that will get clock from the DAW. MIDI should be routed back into the DAW and recorded (probably go to the daw then back out). My drum machine of choice is Maschine these days, so the DAW has to run that as well. I would like to be able to record audio and MIDI from the sequencers and the synths they are driving. </div>
<div><br></div><div>My audio interface can handle this, and I have enough MIDI ports for what I want to do. The issue is that none of the DAWS I have seem to be able to do this and keep things in time. Reaper lets me record the MIDI, but it doesnt echo it back out. Renoise can only send clock to one MIDI port, and doesnt handle long linear tracks at all. Live just makes me want to punch someone - nothing comes out synchronized at all despite getting clock from the same place. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Can the new Sonar handle this? I have an old version of cubase around I might have to dig into again..</div><div><br></div><div>suggestions?</div><div><br></div><div>Tony <br clear="all"><br>-- <br>---------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
