PT8 and multiple VSTi plugin outputs?

Post by sequence »

Ralph (and/or any and all PT 8 users), this is probably a very dumb question, but does PT8 support multiple VSTi plugin outputs? I want to run Jamstix 3 out into Pro Tools via individual tracks (one track just the kick, one track just the snare, etc., where I can equalize, compress, etc. with the various software plugins I have in my host), but haven't been able to figure out how to do so just yet. In the Jamstix 3 manual, on page 60, under "Audio Outputs," it says: "..Changes require a restart of Jamstix and [b:d3017d68bb]your host must be able to handle multiple VSTi plugin outputs[/b:d3017d68bb]." Is this something Pro Tools can do?

Thank you in advance for your time and help :D .




And thanks again Ralph for this incredible product. Version 3 is an absolute masterpiece (to look at, to listen to, and to use).

Okay, I figured out what I was doing wrong. The answer to my question is 'yes.' I stumbled across this video, and was able to apply the concept easily to Jamstix 3. Here's the video in case anyone else might benefit from watching it: [url]http://www.homestudiocorner.com/2009/10/01/recording-multiple-outputs-from-ezdrummer-video/[/url]

I was record-arming the individual track outs, but I think it was because I wasn't record-arming the host itself (and then having PT go into active record mode) was the reason that I wasn't hearing any audio being outputted to those individual tracks (and thus was left wondering if PT did or did not support the multiple VSTi plugin outputs). Works like a charm now :D .
