Hi,
When I need to record drum parts, I use Muse that triggers samples in
Hydrogen or Specimen. Unfortunately, in this situation, Muse's 'Bounce
to File' function doesn't allow me to export to an audio file (to use
in ecasound) because this only works with Muse's built-in soft synths
or soundfonts loaded into Muse (unless I overlooked something).
Actually MusE can add arbitrary audio sources to the mix, not just
softsynths.
Right click in the track list and select Audio-Input. Connect this input
to the softsynth output and off you go.
In this situation it is best to unconnect the softsynths routing to the
soundcard since this is not needed and will interfere with your
listening levels. Most softsynths have a setting to skip this step.

Muse's 'simple drums' works pretty good and allows me to use the
'Bounce to File' function. But then I can't use multilayered drum
samples.
The solution would be to record in Hydrogen, and then export it to an
audio file. But I just can't work with 'pattern based' sequencers
because it's too limiting. I record all sequences with Muse because I
can just press 'Record' and record for as long as I need to.
Anyways... does anyone have any idea how to get Muse's 'drum tracks'
to a stereo audio file so I can use it in ecasound? My Echo IO card
doesn't have a 'capture function' like my SB Live card used to (so I
can capture whatever comes through the card). I don't think
'timemachine' will work because I would have to find exactly were the
'beginning' starts in the resulting audio file. With the 'capture
function' in the SB Live card, I would use ecasound to start recording
everything coming through the card... but ecasound and Muse were
synced (via jack) so it would start recording perfectly at the
necessary point. With 'timemachine' you press 'Record', and then go to
Muse and press 'Play' and meanwhile, you have a lot of dead space in
the front of the resulting audio file.
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks,
Rocco
