Multitrack Recording???

OpenOptics 6:35 AM 15 June 2006
So one of the main reasons I bought the 57 was because it was the supposed answer to the mixtape maker's dream. That is, being able to record PGM 1 & 2 separately and then edit the tracks post-recording. Now my question to you guys is, how do I go about doing that? I have the Pro Tools 002 controller setup and figured I would be able to record straight to that, but now it seems like that's not possible. Am I correct? If you guys could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it. As soon as I figure this out, I can get cracking on laying down my summer mix (which you guys will be sure to get a link to). Thanks in advance...much respect.
nobspangle 7:19 AM 15 June 2006
This currently isn't possible.
It is within the capabilities of the mixer, it just needs to be implemented.

Once it is done there are two ways I'd like to see it possible.

1. Recording through SSL, there would be another recording mode in SSL which would create two wav files instead of one, you could then dump these into your DAW and line them up.

2. Recording one output through the master and the other output through the flexFX send. This way you could record directly into your DAW through a soundcard.

There is a third option that nik has described where virtual busses would be created between SSL and the DAW.
OpenOptics 7:39 AM 15 June 2006
Damn, I hope they implement this soon. The way I was thinking about it originally is pretty much what you said in your second point: separately assigning PGM 1 and PGM 2 to Main, Booth, or Aux Out. Your first point seems cool, but it would probably take up a whole lot of your processing power (making it more likely for dropouts and glitches in your mix), and would kind of be a pain to line up in your DAW. For your third point, wouldn't a plugin for your DAW (similar to Rewire) be needed? Mods, is multitracking within the near future?
nik39 10:08 AM 15 June 2006
OO, check these suggestions, I havent posted them in the feature suggestions area yet, but I think I'll do that sooner or later. I would kindly ask you to add your thoughts. MAybe we can develop this idea further.

2. Separate PGM1/2 output postfader

When implementing routing functionality you could also let the user choose to whether using pre or post fader output to FlexFX and Aux/Main/Booth, it would be possible to use the mixer as a mixtape recording device, like the Stanton-SA8 (it also had separate post(cross)fader outputs for both PGMs.


----------------------------------------------------------

3. Mixtape routing functions

TO further enhance the mixtape abilities I have some ideas, it has been said that it is planned that you can record a complete set including all fader movements and then either flatten it out and write it as one audio file, or export it to a DAW as a session, incl. unflattened audio and all fader movements, so that you can edit it afterwards in your DAW. This is a fantastic idea, but it has one big drawback - you have to record your set in SSL, export it, import it back into your DAW, that goes for each recording/take/edit which can take up lots of time.

My idea is to have some sort of virtual ASIO device which will deliver the audio from SSL and the mixer directly into the DAW. How would it work? I will go through an example how I would record a mixtape:
PGM1 -> ASIO In/Out 1
PGM2 -> ASIO In/Out 2
(Maybe if possible AUX -> ASIO In/Out 3)

(A)
Start SSL
Start DAW
Start recording in DAW from the ASIO inputs (audio provided by SSL on PGM1 and PGM2 (physical channels on the USB bus), in DAW: ASIO In1 from PGM1, ASIO In2 from PGM2 (virtual channels inside host PC))
Stop recording cause you screwed a mix, on PGM2
[channels/bandwidth used:
2 stereo chans control TMD from TTM -> SSL, 2 stereo audio chans back from SSL -> TTM, total 4 stereo streams]

(B)
Rewind back in DAW
Let just the last unscrewed track run from DAW that was the signal previously from PGM1
SSL receives audio on ASIO Out2 (which are fed from DAW), sent to the TTM to PGM2
Record in DAW as in (A)
Now you gotta tell SSL somehow to switch PGM2 from ASIO Out2 back to the virtual deck 2, that could be either done within SSL or a button on the TTM

The big advantage is as described before you can interactively edit the mixer, w/o the hassle of exporting, re-importing etc.
el presidente 5:42 PM 15 June 2006
agree, that is a big reason i bought a ttm 57 sl
OpenOptics 7:28 PM 15 June 2006
Nik, you got it right on! That is a lot more on point than anything I could have said. Nice diagram too. Serato already has its hands in Pro Tools with Pitch n' Time, so I would think it wouldn't be too difficult to create a plugin to implement this. It shouldn't be anymore difficult than Rewire with Reason or Ableton.
OpenOptics 3:26 AM 19 June 2006
So mods, is this in the works???
Sam 1:12 AM 27 June 2006
It is in the works.

In the mean time, you can send PGM 1 out of the FlexFX to your sound card (this will be post fader), and select PGM 2 Post Fader as the record option from within Scratch LIVE to get the two separate stereo files for PGM 1 and 2 post fader.

Will this work? You will have two different digital clocks, the soundcard and the TTM 57SL, I would expect the two files to drift out of time.
AKIEM 8:09 PM 27 June 2006
I would expect the same thing. Also "flavored" differently.
But maybe the drift would happen later in the recording rather then sooner. enough later that you would quit by then. test?
nik39 8:18 PM 27 June 2006
In the mean time I will hook up my SL1 to the TTM57 SL and record with the ASIO drivers (once they are finished and released) both PGMs seperately, assuming the offer the possibility of recording both PGMs post fader at the same time.
OpenOptics 10:58 AM 29 June 2006
Thanks for the response Sam. Do you know if there will be a plugin similar to Pitch n Time or what? I'm very interested to see how you guys approach this issue.

To Nik, I don't really understand what you are saying. Are you using your 57 on one computer and your SL1 on another computer?
nik39 1:23 PM 29 June 2006
OO, right now the idea would be to use the recording through the TTM57 on one computer and playback of the audio files via SSL on a 2nd laptop.
OpenOptics 8:46 PM 29 June 2006
Okay, so you're just using the 57 as a sound card then, right?
nik39 8:55 PM 29 June 2006
Yes. I would like to have all in one as posted above (virtual ASIO device, virtual MIDI etc...) but its simply not possible right now :( Also I would like to get rid of having another D/A/D conversion, but right now, there is no other way. Also Sam's work around includes one additonal D/A/D conversion one one PGM, while on the other one its not necessary. That might cause problems sound quality wise.
Wildstylus 3:14 AM 6 February 2007
Heh, yeah, I can't believe multitrack recording is impossible while using SL. I hope they hurry up and implement this coz my PCI soundcard is wack and the sound quality is very noticeably poorer if I sent the one channel to it via flex FX.
illkid 2:43 PM 7 February 2007

DJ Cykophuk 3:20 PM 1 June 2007
This would make a nice option for a newb like me with a monster collection to import. If I can assign pgm1 & pgm2 to discreet stereo tracks in Cubase via an ASIO driver, I could then start blasting vinyl into my laptop two at a time and cut them out for the mixdown in cubase after the recording session. It would essetially cut my archiving time down by 30-50%.

yes...please.

You can do this already you need to install the ASIO drivers that were released with 1.7.2

just did the setup and sound check...very nice. prog 1 pre fader channels 1&2, prog 2 pre fader channels 3&4, both gave levels on separate stereo channels in cubase. thats double tough.

Next question...if I understand the situation, while cubase can record 24 bit, the 57 will only be sending 16bit? So I'll have to sacrifice bitrate for speed if I use the 57 vs. the lexicon...unless I set up my 54 and use a 4 channel lex. But the question is probably pointless, since my output will never exceed 16bit with the current mixer. Thinking of the future though. I wonder if I'll be re-archiving in 10 years when I buy my next mixer. OK, enough rambling.

Thanks for reading.

Amos
Awedamn 8:16 PM 9 June 2007
What about if you record 32bit, would it sound much better since the out point is 16bit?

Im trying to use ableton live lite 4 now and only my old soundcards are showing up.

This is what I'm waiting for too. doesn't even have to be with Serato, if some other prog can see the 2 inputs PREFADER than I'm a happy man. Oh, and the ability to use my TTM57 as a soundcard. I know iTunes is able to output to the TTM57, but Progs like Reason don't.

Nik36, CoreAudio? since when? is it in 1.8? Or is there something in the pipeline we don't know about, meaning "THEY have CoreAudio drivers" and not "I have CoreAudio drivers"

Of course not, if I would be good enough to produce music on the fly while DJ'ing, then I probably wouldn't need a dayjob anymore. :o) Unless what I produce is cr*p of course. No I'm talking about using the 57 as a soundcard when NOT using SSL. iTunes is able to use the TTM57 as an output. But in Reason it doesn't show up. So I have to go from the headphone-jack of my laptop to the AUX-IN of my TTM (which doesn't sound all that great), or I have to connect my External Soundcard and reconnect my monitors to that or loop them to the AUX-IN of the TTM57, which introduces a lot of unnecessary cable-mess again.

So what does the TTM 57SL Record Utility 1.1 software actually do. I thought it meant we would finally have multitracking but then it says this:
"The application does not work in conjunction with the Serato Scratch LIVE Software"

I'm confused. does it mean you still need to have 2 mixers? on to mix that would be plugged in the 57 which would only be used as a soundcard? don't quite see the logic in that.

Stuart Ramdeen 3:36 PM 19 November 2007
that feature is coming. In the meantime, you could use some elaborate method like recording channel 2 within SSL and feed channel 1 out of the flexfx loop, enable flexfx for channel 1 and record that on your other computer. I don't need this functionality myself, but I'm sure this has come up in the past, have you searched the archives for workarounds?

aztechnician 7:16 AM 7 December 2007
I am so confused with what has been said in this thread!

are we saying that even though the TTM57 is connected to the PC via USB it is not possible to run SSL and record both turns into seperate tracks either within SSL itself or even better into any DAW of your choice?

It sounds like the new record utility patch only allows for this to occur when using your TTM57 as a normal(real) vinyl mixer with SSL turned off? I swear I heard this has 4 ASIO channel and I would have assumed that running SSL control records to play MP3/WAV via SSL or normal vinyl wouldnt really matter it would still show as input in ableton?

My main question is when TTM57 operates as a soundcard can it also function as the SSL app? so the source is MP3/WAV on the decks and re-routed via ASIO into ableton - SEPERATELY?

Im in a dark place of uncertainty. Who has a flashlight?
nobspangle 8:34 AM 7 December 2007
When you are using SSL the TTM 57SL stops being a soundcard, as soon as you close SSL it goes back to being a soundcard.

Currently the 57 has two stereo inputs and two stereo outputs. When in SSL mode you have one input for each track you are playing, one output for recording and one output used for vinyl control.
When you're in soundcard mode you have two outputs each of which can be set to channel 1/2 pre/post fader or main mix, and two inputs which feed into D1 and D2 on the mixer.

Bro, here is how you do it...

Use any mixer and an SSL Box and a soundcard with multiple inputs.

Run your tables input into the SSL box. Then use rca Y style (1 male to 2 female) splitters to connect to the line output of channel 1 and 2 of the SSL box.

Then connect 2 complete sets of RCA cables to the Y style connectors. Now you should have two outputs from channel 1 and two from channel 2 both with Left and Right channels.

Now send One of your ch. 1 RCA's to your mixer and one to your soundcard. Do the same for channel 2.

Now run the master output from you mixer to your soundcard.

and.... BAM! Without waiting for any new software you can record your channel 1 raw, channel 2 raw and your mix into the soundcard and program of your choice.

Ps. This works best if the recording computer is seperate than the ssl machine but that's not required.

Enjoy your new mixtape factory! :)

I know, it's not the cure for cancer either... but it gets the job done if you goal is to cut live mixtapes and be able to go back and clean up any imperfections in
Ableton or some similar program.

Missed ya Nik, hope all is well.

Cheers! :)

I wouldn't go so far as to call it easy, but no it's not rocket science for sure.

How about using the TTM57 and a SL1 box? You can record post fader then =)
DJ Yaz 8:58 PM 15 April 2008
Yeah I though about that, but you would need to trick the computer into hosting both the SL box and the 57 sound at the same time? Feel me? Otherwise you would need two computers.

That would be sick though if Serato released a new version that would allow you to have your SSL hooked up to a box and a 57 and provide the same audio to both.

It would be smart for them too because you would have a bunch of DJ's with a 57 and an SSL box as I do now. More money for them :)

I'll post it in the suggestions.

That's actually how I recorded my last mixtape, 2channels, post fader at the same time.

One computer was running SSL+SL1, the other ran Cubase+TTM57SL.

What happens if you load SSL with the SL 1 hooked up then attach the 57?

I was just messing around today in the lab. I had my 57 hooked up to my Alienware lappy. Went into the control panel and changed the output sound to Line 1 and the record/mic to Line 2.

Clicked on Cool edit 2.1. I hit had to turn the nob from D1 A1 and on the other nob from D2 to A3or 4 can't remeber. I two cds in the Cdj. Click record on track 1 and let her rip. I then highlighted track 2 and and mixed in behind where i left off on track one and it was easy. Went to track 3 did some voice overs and it came out pretty good.

So one of the main reasons I bought the 57 was because it was the supposed answer to the mixtape maker's dream. That is, being able to record PGM 1 & 2 separately and then edit the tracks post-recording. Now my question to you guys is, how do I go about doing that? I have the Pro Tools 002 controller setup and figured I would be able to record straight to that, but now it seems like that's not possible. Am I correct? If you guys could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it. As soon as I figure this out, I can get cracking on laying down my summer mix (which you guys will be sure to get a link to). Thanks in advance...much respect.


I just want to know why can't we still do this?

couldnt you technically do multitrack with an SL1..... i was just thinking about it..... it would be relatively easy....

this should be really easy to do with a 57 i mean come on at least let us know wats going on weve all shelled out 1500 for the darn thing.....
