SD3 Tracker Mix Routing

[Jerm__]

Hello everyone,

I’m trying to figure out Tracker. I’ve routed snare top to output 5/6 and snare bottom to 7/8 (both in the mixer tab) however when I put the snare top mix knob to 100% source audio it outputs to channel 1/2 and then when I put it to 100% samples audio it goes to 5/6 and 7/8. When it’s set to 50% mix knob, it gets outputted to channels 1/2 and 5/6 and 7/8. The output of all the tracks in Tracker should go to where they’re set in the Mixer tab but they’re not. So any track not using 100% samples on the mix knob comes out at output 1/2…. 🙁

any help would be great! I’m using Reaper by the way.

Thanks,

Jeremy

Well,

Tracker is not meant to mix through, the idea is to replace your audio tracks with MIDI so I don’t think that there’s something wrong here.
I totally get it that you would, in certain situations, prefer to route the audio from your audio tracks to a different output than 1/2 but again, you’re not supposed to mix with the audio you’re replacing.
When done replacing, Export the MIDI to the Song Track and forget about the audio you just replaced 😉

I don’t understand why you wouldn’t want it to mix properly to the right output. Then there’s absolutely no reason to have the mix knob in Tracker? What am I missing here……

With it properly routed, it would make blended both samples and audio source tracks well. Instead your answer makes it seems that using the source tone isn’t the goal of Tracker and that Tracker’s purpose is to 100% sample replace files…..

I use the mix knobs on the Tracker channels so I can make sure there are no missed triggers in the detections.
