Help with Groove Agent 2?

[Pick_n_grin]

I have Groove Agent 2 and the best that I've been able to do is hit 'run' and play along with it. While I can hear the audio through my PC speakers, I can't get my sound card (e-mu 0404) to record the Groove Agent audio. That said, I can't figure out how to configure the MIDI to work with Cakewalk Sonar LE. I was trying to find some sort of tutorial online but haven't had much luck. Part of the problem is that the technospeak of VSTs and DXIs is a bit over my head.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

You can go with a midi track for GA2. I use GA 1 and you have to activate the Agent's midi output, then it will work without problems.

Thanks...unfortunately, that's what I'm having trouble doing...

Ok, so you need a step-by-step thing how to start it. I work with cubase, I don't know how Sonar works, furthermore I've got only the 1st version of GA.

Ok, that's how I do it:

Open cubase, create a midi track. Open up Groove Agent. Now I have the "desktop" of Groove Agent on my monitor. By one-clicking on the space, right of the instruments (snare, bassdrum etc.) there are some knobs to control the volume of the snare etc. On the right, below the music genre display, there should be a "setup" box. Open it and activate the first register (midi output).

Then you have to direct GA as the signal for the midi track. GA as "in" and "out" signal of the track.

Sorry for my bad english, I hope it works!

Thanks... I was not able to get that to happen... the MIDI track in Sonar wasn't listing Groove Agent as an option for input/output source. I will have to figure something out...
Your English is fine My MIDI skills aren't :-(

No problem!!

I'm into cubase and midi stuff only some weeks ago..it's easy if you understand how it's structured. Just experiment! I hope everything works as you want now!
