Ok apologies if 9 hours of manual-reading and video watching would clear this up. I want to do something pretty specific but hopefully not that complex.
I use Protools to record the Digitakt via overbridge. I know other DAWs are better for MIDI and electronic music, but I do a lot with mics and collaborate with a lot of other acoustic musicians who use ProTools, so I use ProTools.
What I am wondering is, since the 1.20 update has allowed for options in terms of transport control vs clock sync:
Is there a way to plant a command in a MIDI track in Protools that will effectively ‘press play’ on the Digitakt? Basically what I am looking to do is re-record the same pattern on the takt for multiple takes and get the recording to start in the same place every time, synced with the track i’m recording it on. (I just manually make the track bpm and takt BpM the same, works fine.) This way I can do multiple passes without attempting to hit ‘play’ in time with the click on Protools, and also it would allow me to focus on tweaking different individual tracks on each pass and then comping later but not needing to manually line everything up.
Is it clear what i’m asking? Anyone know the Takt and Protools’ MIDI capabilities well enough to answer? Is there a different/better way of getting the same results I’m not thinking of?
thanks.
