Recording a Live Performance

If you are playing a gig with ProKeys Sono and a laptop, you can easily record your live performance. Load up your backing tracks in Ableton Live Lite (or another DAW), and create two audio tracks for ProKeys Sono inputs 1 and 2. You can also create a MIDI track and capture the raw MIDI data generated during your performance. Make sure that inputs 1, 2 and the MIDI track are set to record, and play along with your backing tracks. After the gig is over, you?ll have the entire performance recorded?along with raw MIDI data that you can edit later. With ProKeys Sono, you?ll always be able to capture the unexpected improvisations that happen when playing live.
