recording drums to computer

[vdrummer]

hi guys,

i just got a TD3-3 (from roland) brain drum. i got a midi sport uno midi cable that goes from the brain and then has a converter so that i can plug it to my computer.

my question is, i downloaded N-track but when i record it sounds like crap! not only are the sounds choppy, they are not the actual sounds of the brain!!

how can this be corrected? do i need a different/better software?

how can i make the sounds of the brain record directly to the computer?

any help is greatly appreciated,
thanks!!

MIDI information is not sound -- it's instructions that tell ceompliat sound-making devices what to do.

What you're hearing in nTrack is probably the sound of a bad on-board soundcard MIDI chip or softsynth like the Microsoft software synth.

To record the sounds from the brain, you have to route the audio outs of the brain into the audio inputs of the computer and record its audio output.

one more question though?

That's awesome, thanks for the quick response!

Sorry for my ingorance, but how would I go about recording the outs of the brain into the inputs of my computer? Can this be done through the USB?

Again, thanks for your patience and help!

What USB? The Uno? No, that's purely a MIDI interface. Does the Roland brain have a USB audio output? Doubtful. Do you have a USB soundcard? From what you described, I doubt it. So no, I don't think you have any way to get audio data into your computer via USB as it stands.
