quick question about out jacks

I don't think it matters if you have 2Box module connected with USB, module is not in USB mode anyway. Well, here are three pictures that show my setup. My midi interface is m-audio midiman.

1. First you enable MIDI device

2. Then you add a track and select input. I selected all channels as I only record one midi at a time. My 2Box module is setup to Channel 1 (UNIT-INTF) meaning I have to select either channel 1 or all channels.

3. You arm the track and start recording. No picture here. That button next to I/O on track must be RED.
4. To playback and record you must setup MIDI output. Click I/O to open routing window and select your MIDI interface that will send signal to 2Box module.

5. Add new track, select input from your soundcard, connect outputs from 2Box module to your soundcard inputs, configure 2Box module to send drum sound to whatever output you wish (ie. 3+4) and record. Don't forget to disarm MIDI track. Reaper will send signal to 2Box module through MIDI interface and record sound (wave) to this new track captured from 2Box module. You can also record directly to your mp3 recorder if you connect 2Box outputs directly to mp3 player.

in the first picture, i cant add midisport  as you have. actually i cant add anything. what could be the problem? my midi cable is poop, or is it something else? midi to usb cable came with no drivers...

it is this. it says it has built in drivers

It don't have experiences with such midi cables, tbh. I avoid them as plague, but people say that midi stuff works even with those cheap midi cables. My midi interface is M-Audio Midisport. If you can't add midi interface to Reason then you won't be able to record with Reason. Can you see midi interface or cable in your device manager when you connect it to your USB port? You should see it under Sound, video and sound controllers. Something like this

vey helpful post. thank you. i can see these under sound

asus xonas ds audio device (my sound card)
ati high definition audio device
realtec high definition audio
usb midi interface.

so i guess it is the last one that should do the trick?or not?

[GenuineHuman]

Yes, that's it. Now you plug USB midi interface in your computer, start Reason and it should be right there in the Preferences. If it's not, click Reset All Midi Devices, close the Properties window and open it again. If it's still not there then I'm temporarily out of ideas.

so you are officially out of ideas... anyways ill try to look into it some more

thank you very much

when i am recording through midi, is there some dots or something that show me that hits are being registered?

[GenuineHuman]

Yes, yes, that's it. You got it. Now, to playback those dots through 2Box module, you have to connect your cable the other way around (connect it to midi in input on 2Box) and set midi hardware output (picture 4 above). To record, you connect 2Box outputs to your soundcard.

yes but i never saw these dots. for now , i will make a new thread with questions about audio recording lol
