  • Workflow: Looking for best practices for "bouncing" WIP tracks for listening elsewhere

    Answering my own question, here's the workflow that I've found useful:

    Review the sketches I've made that week, and then for the ones I'd like to keep working on:
    \
    1. Re-sample the song to create a "bounce" of the sketch
    2. Add the bounced version to a muted track
    3. Save the file using the "collect all" feature so it's all neatly in a folder (and easily identifiable on the card)
    4. Backup the SD card

    Then, from there, I throw all the bounces onto my iPhone (into the GarageBand > GB File Transfers folder) and add all of the sketches as individual "live loops" in a "Deluge Sketches" project in GarageBand iOS. I use the live loops option so that the sketch just continues to loop, even if I've only created a short bounce.

    From here, I can listen through my sketches in progress anytime.

    Hope that this might help someone else with a similar question.

  • Do you use a USB hub from Deluge for USB MIDI? Please share

    Hey there @Kusho,

    I use both. My set-up sounds similar to yours. I send MIDI out from the Deluge over USB to two synths, and also take MIDI in over USB from two controllers (Keystep and Faderfox).

    Similar to @Metamere, I also send MIDI out from the Deluge to an unpowered MIDI splitter/filter box, which splits four ways, this goes to two older synths, as well as a drum machine.

    Here are the two devices I'm using:

  • Samples that won't import (and best practices)

    Thanks everyone. I'll send them over to Rohan to see what's up. 🙏
