When I have multiple tracks that have different VST synths hooked up, and I arm (put the midi in arrow on) track 2, when I play/record, the first midi track that is no longer armed starts playing whatever I'm really intending for only track 2. How do I avoid this? To summarize, how do I record midi tracks individually?
Doesn't T1 do pitch/time stretch? I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, I try to make the pitch lower and it enlongates the time length of the audio, so then I hit the "don't time stretch" (or whatever its called) and it just makes the clip as it originally was? I want to lower the pitch and keep the time length as it originally was. What is this stupid nubie doing wrong?
Oh and one more Q. How do I use my keyboards sounds? I can record the midi note info and I can hook it up to a VST synth (via midi out from keyboard), but what if I want to use the keyboards sounds? Is my only option to record the keyboards sounds to just record my keyboard playing from the 1/4 audio out from keyboard to 1/4 in on audio box? What if I hook up the midi out from my audio box (Echo G3) to the midi in on the keyboard? Would that enable the Echo to use the keyboards sounds?
Thank God for forums...how did we solve problems before these?

1. If you're saying what I think you are, that should work fine. If you have the input pointed at a track, and other tracks are receiving the MIDI notes you are playing, you've either routed one track to the other, or discovered a bug.
2. What you want is a pitch shift, drop a pitch shifter plugin on the clip/track you want shifted, and it should do what you want. Then start searching for quality free pitch shifters.
3. You would be able to use the sounds on your keyboard in both ways you describe. However, you would only be able to render the external keyboard sounds into your finished songs by recording them as audio at some point.

Usually by searching to see if somebody else has already asked and gotten an answer. If that fails then we work on understanding the problem, forming a plan, and trying solutions.Thank God for forums...how did we solve problems before these?
