Recording an Audio Unit into Ableton

[DavidGabriel]

Hi, I started again to try to produce but I’m still a noob.

I have a question:

I already read the manual and saw a video on youtube, but I still cannot get what I want.

I’m working with ableton 9 Suite and an Audio Unit - Audiorealism emulating the TR-909, TR-808 and TR-606.
I want to record the Audiorealism on a midi track.
I armed the midi track with the Audiorealism, click on play button of it and start to record on arrangement view.
It plays the sound I want but when I’m going to play the midi track on ableton, I get no sound from it.

The question is simple, how can I record the sounds from Audiorealism into ableton?

Thank's for our time

You want to record audio from Audiorealism or MIDI to trigger back the internal drums? I assuming you're using patterns that are native in this plug-in and not MIDI you have in clips in Session view. I'm not familiar with Audiorealism though.

If audio or MIDI you create a new track and set its source to the track with Audiorealism on it, then the specific outputs you want to record from. See 16.1 Choosing an Input in the Live 9 manual.

If your are indeed using native patterns of Audiorealism and these play when you record to Arrangement, these won't be recorded as MIDI data unless the plug-ins can and is sending this MIDI to its outputs and you have set up to record these MIDI outputs.

An alternative, possibly better approach, would be to move the native MIDI patterns to clips in Session view, either by recording to another track and then move the clips back to the original track or by drag and drop into the same track, if that's something Audiorealism supports. Then make sure the clips play back properly and that the native patterns do not run — if they do you might get double triggers — and record as MIDI to arrangement. This is how I work.

Ok. Thanks, I knew it was simple, but like I said I'm very noob in production, and I didn't knew where to look.

Great, that's the most simple to do. Just ignore the MIDI parts from the previous suggestions.

An alternative method, assuming Audiorealism is playing back exactly what you want as is, would be to freeze/flatten the track, which makes it audio. Optionally you could duplicate it first in order to keep the original.

If you choose the freeze/flatten method, instead of recording, and have processing on the track you can choose those devices and plug-ins that you want to keep control over (and the option to remove them later) and cut them so the are removed from the signal chain before you freeze/flatten. Then just paste them back in to restore the sound you had, now on an audio track.

Your welcome DavidGabriel. We've all been there.

Great tip - Thanks again

Ok, thanks again. I think I'm going to ask all of you some doubts I have.
I know it will be good to take a course on production, but you see near my hometown I don't have anything and as a Working guy, time is always not enough as I'm a Dj too.
But I will work it out.

Thanks again for your time.
