My drummer has a ProTools-based Mac studio. He records our band's sessions. Right now
I give him a stereo feed from my laptop, because that's all my audio hardware does,
and he doesn't have a whole lot of tracks left after that anyway.
Giving him a stereo feed is problematic. My synths are all glorped together onto one
stereo track. He's getting audio, not MIDI, so if there are fsck-up's in my
playing-- or, more likely, in my submix levels--, it's not like I can just jump into
Rosegarden or seq24 and fix it, as I do at home. He's a really good engineer, and
I'd rather let him determine levels than just give him an imperfect mix of several
synths and samples.
So I'm wondering: is there any way to sync up my linux sequencers/DAWs/loopers with
his ProTools setup?
What first occurred to me, was possibly having him send MTC, then having some linux
program slave to MTC but be a JACK transport master at the same time. Thus, he can control
the vertical, he can control the horizontal, but I can save and edit as needed. I can then
edit MIDI or audio, export each synth as separate WAV files, and he can pull them into
ProTools and do final mixing.
Any thoughts on whether this is feasible? Is this the right way to approach it? Anyone
have any success stories from a similar setup?
Thanks.
