Has anyone managed to record midi from Midi Guitar 2 VST in Digital Performer 11.21?

1

Hi guys and gals, I am a newbie here, just bought Midi Guitar 2 a few days ago.
My main DAW is Digital Performer on a Windows 10 system but I also run DP on a Macbook (for live)
I have followed the guidance on the Jam Origin support page but that is for version 8 & 9 and DP does things a bit differently now.
Whatever I try, I can’t seem get midi out of the VST in the audio track.
I was wondering if anyone has had any success with DP11

In the meantime, I am looking for an audio interface that presents each input as a separate device. I’m sure I saw one recently, maybe it was a usb out from a mixer, I remember thinking ‘why would anyone want that?’ - Now I do! :slight_smile:

OK that response speaks volumes, not to worry, I have gathered up all of the tumbleweed and I can burn it to keep warm :slight_smile:
To be fair, in the great scheme of things, Digital Performer is quite niche

So moving on, I am going to use Cantabile to host the 6 instances of Midi Guitar, and use a virtual port to record the midi into DP. I have done some test recordings using polyphonic and it all seems to work fine. I am well impressed with cantabile and may switch my live rig from Macbook to PC so I can use it instead of Mainstage.

Just saw this , Im on DP 11.23. Once you have MG2 on your audio track you have to be in multi record in the studio menu and set up a separate midi track and there you can set up midi guitar as they input and that will print your midi on the track when both are record enabled

Thanks for your reply Chlady, I have no studio at the moment as we have just moved house so I cant try this right away. I will try this as soon as I am set up again but I will stick with Cantabile as part of my setup as I find routing and patching so intuitive that I can do it on the fly without losing the moment. I really miss DP, I cant wait to get things set up again!

Niche enough, so it’s first time I heard about it.
All I can is to wish you luck with it.

Lots of Film composes still use DP , great for music productions, has loads of features that many don’t have, and has been around longer than most other DAWs.Needless to say I like it and works for me with MG2.
