2. Arm the Audio Track and hit record. WARNING..! Any and all sounds you hear from the MOX will be

recorded onto that track at this point. So if you’ve already created a few Instrument Tracks that use

the MOX (bass, drums & piano), then you need to record them to audio tracks one -at-a-time. Do this

by muting the ones you don’t want to record. Then create a new Audio Track for the next part, and so-

on…

3. Once your MOX Instrument tracks are recorded into S1, you can edit & mix normally using any plugins

in Studio One. You will no longer need the Instrument (MIDI) Tracks, so mute them all and pack them

into a folder. You can delete them if you want to, but I wouldn’t recommend it - you might need them

again at some point.

Something else to consider…

LATENCY

Latency here means the time it takes from starting an action to its completion.

When you press a note on a keyboard, the information goes into the computer vi a MIDI, and then it’s sent

back to the MOX, again via MIDI. This takes time, and the time it takes depends on your computer setup.

It also means that when you record an Audio Track from an Instrument track, the recorded audio will be late.

Look closely at this image. You’ll notice that the audio peaks for this recorded drum part don’t line up exactly

with the corresponding MIDI notes. They’re a bit late.

On my computer they’re 9.9 milliseconds late. You can find out your computer’s latency by opening the

Yamaha/Steinberg ASIO Driver Control Panel (Studio One / Options / Audio Setup / Control Panel). Look for

“Output Latency”.

There are a few ways to fix this. You can physically drag the recorded audio part backwards until it lines up, or

you can use the “Delay” parameter in the “Inspector” for that track.

In the above screenshot, I’ve set the Audio Track’s Delay parameter to -9.9 milliseconds. Now when I play

back the two tracks, there’s no delay - they’re perfectly in-sync – even though the audio peaks still appear

late.

However, If I had entered -9.9 into the Instrument Track’s delay parameter BEFORE recording the audio, then

the resulting audio file would have been perfectly in sync to begin with and the audio peaks would have

reflected this too. That’s the better way, but I chose to do it this way so you could SEE the delay.
