Metro SE 4 track limit

Postby Guest » Sun May 04, 2003 12:19 am

Hello all... I'm helping a friend evaluate Metro 6... I'm more familiar with the PC side... (yah I know boo hiss :) )... I'm a happy user of Cakewalk Home Studio 2002, which appears from the featurelist to have very similar capabilities to Metro... My friend currently has Propellerheads Reason, and after six months of use, finally figured out it only does midi->sw synths... no digital audio tracks... gotta love obtuse programs with wickedly good marketing. :)

So I'm helping him to get something more useful... he's a very talented bass player and singer, and wants to be able to record those instruments in addition to writing midi drum and synth parts...

So here's one question I have:

From what I'm reading, Metro SE limits you to 4 audio tracks. If you have a midi track, and you play it through a software synthesizer (VST) plugin, or through a soundfont, does that count as an audio track?

In Home Studio, if you want to play a midi track through a software synthesizer plugin, you have to add a separate audio track with the sw synth plugin as an insert effect. Then you direct the output of the MIDI track into the sw synth audio track...

Does metro work the same way?

Thanks for you help,
-Garret

Easiest way to tell is to run 4 audio tracks and the midi one and see if it works or a mixture of 5 of any of them.
