No Combined Parts in Tracker Export Page

[Tom Sarracino]

Hi,
I recorded a dum kit with two Mics on one stereo track in pro tools 12,

Exported it as a wav file 24×48,

Dragged and dropped into tracker,

Tempo’d it.

Then hit export but I only get the single drum selected from the previous page in the combined track.

Never the full kit.

After hours of trying everything what am I missing?

Thank you
TomS

Is it correct that you only have ONE track in the Tracker? In that case you have to do the following:
1. Duplicate the track to get one track/instrument that you like to trigger.
2. Use the Sound Recognition menu to select the instrument to trigger on each track.
3. Edit the events/trigger points where you need to (the Tracker was designed to trigger close miced instruments rather than multiple ones from one single stereo recording, so you’ll probably have to do a bit of tweaking).
3. Click the export button.
4. Select the tracks that you wish to export
5. Export by drag and drop or use the button named ‘Save Selected MIDI as…’

Hope this helps!

I believed the advertising video mentioned you can convert a single full kit stereo wav file recording to a midi file that includes the full kit.

I prolly dreaming… :p

Follow the tips in the posts above, and you’ll be able to get multi tracked MIDI from one single audio file.
Note that while it’s possible to use one single audio file – you’ll get the best results tracking multi track drum audio.

Well, Andreas nailed it.

Answer from toontrack follows…

“There is currently no such video as this is not specifically what tracker is designed for. While it is possible to pull trigger points out of a single stereo file, Tracker is design to work with individual multi channel drum audio files. For this reason we can not guarantee the quality of your results.

The procedure would be to import the stereo file, then duplicate the file once for each instrument that you want to create via MIDI. (i.e. if you want to capture MIDI for a Kick, Snare, 2 toms, 2 crash cymbals, 1 ride and 1 high hat, you would duplicate the file 8 times, as you have 8 instruments).

Finally, you will need to refine the trigger points as using tracker in this way will cause many false triggers. This is explained in the Tracker manual.
You would then choose a different instrument category in the Sound recognition section for each file. So, one would be set to Kick, the next would be set to Snare, and so on… “

Well, I feel better about this answer this morning. Yesterday I was ready to jump… :p

Thank you Andreas and Toontrack.
