midi with vegas... how?

There is no doubting the power of Vegas as an audio video tool and the interface is very intuitive.

How would one who composes with software-based samplers and synths, record midi tracks the way that cakewalk sonar does ? Or has anyone used a third party product that could be synced to a Vegas track ? Are there performance issues associated to that ?

I would love it if Vegas could include midi tracking along to the existing audio and video.

Hi,
if you use the sonic foundry Virtual Midi Router(VMR), you can sync cakewalk to vegas. Get it from sonic foundry...email them.
Cakewalk can be the master or slave.
I have not been able to get my system to work.ie each subsequent recording was drifting and not in sync with the previous,' but that is the way its done.
cheers

Thanks for the reply...
Yikes, that seems like a lot of overhead. Vegas, Sonar, & Gigasampler has to really tax 1 machine. There’s got to be a better way. Midi is simple technology; How about V3.1 with midi tracking ?

you don't have to use sonar. you can use a lightweight midi program. you just want to be able to play midi tracks right? an earlier version of cakewalk would do the trick. dual cpu's would help. i've had some success with this method, but you might not get perfect sync. the last time i tried this was on a P133, so sync may be a lot better now.

What Midi Programs / Configs are other Vegas users using to control Giga-S or Halion ?
