asked Jun 2, 2020 in Studio One 4 by jarrettschauer (120 points)
Hello,

One of the main reasons I decided to go with studio one for my DAW is that I heard it was very easy to integrate with external instruments.  Mainly my Dave Smith -Tempest drum machine which has been the heart of my set up. I am running it into a Studio live AR8, along with a sampler and couple other synths.  Everything sounds good when I play thru the mixer but when I try to record anything in Studio4 the volume is very low and flat.  Can you please advise on this?

Also I was really wanting to link up the tempest where I can use it as the master BPM.  I have it connected to my iMac via usb and also running into the AR8 stereo with L/R in inputs 5/6.  I have searched to answers but I can't find any way to link up the tempest and studio4 so that they are in sync.  Do you have any suggestions or refer me to a tutorial or something? Can I map midi note from the tempest into studio live4?

These are all thing that I thought would be easy in this DAW given what I had read about it but now I have been trying to integrate my set up for several days now and I can't find a solution and very frustrated.  Please help! thanks in advance and looking forward to your response. w
