| using the demo version doesn't provide recording capabilities. What are some recording techniques used to capture jams. Can drums (specifically dfhs) be routed to seperate tracks in sonar? Or is the best method just recording a midi track from drums and then rerouting that through sonar. |

Hi Grathan,
there are various ways to capture performances:
#1 Record input during jam (audio or MIDI). Jamstix retains jam information by itself which will cause it to repeat the jam if you feed it the same input again. So there's no need to record Jamstix MIDI or audio output.
#2 Record Jamstix MIDI output via DirectiXer loopback port. You can then feed the data to DFHS without using Jamstix.
#3 'Toggle Locks' in Jamstix. This freezes all Jamstix data and Jamstix will play identically every time regardless of input.

Using DirectiXer you can reroute the Jamstix output back into a Sonar MIDI track to send it to DFHS etc. _________________ Ralph Zeuner

what about the bounce option in dfhs. If i choose to configure in mapping tab then advance to bounce in dfhs, then click record there. This would save me at least 3 steps later on. Has this feature been disabled intentionally or is it just not meant to be. When i try to do it this way, it says negative 2 million samples have been recorded then crashes everything when i try to write the bounced samples to file  |

Are you loading DFHS into Jamstix? Try loading it into Sonar, then routing the Jamstix output to DFHS via DirectiXer.
(Please note that the Jamstix demo only outputs MIDI on bars 1 through 4) _________________ Ralph Zeuner

aside from purchasing directixer, this is still a lot of steps including setting up dfhs in sonar which seems to take me quite a long time. I love how quickly your software brings up a drumkit (dfhs) and makes it incredibly user freindly( i can do things through jamstix to dfhs in minutes what i couldn't be bothered to do in months through dfhs). Anyways if i could reinterate my previous post's question. How possible would it be to manipulate dfhs (especially it bounce feature) through the mapping tab's confugre button  |

I'm not sure how much DFHS likes the Jamstix pass-through to the host when bouncing and what issues are involved. I generally use DFHS only in no-cache mode so I never have a need to bounce in DFHS.
Concerning DFHS config outside of Jamstix. I simply load DFHS in Jamstix with my mapping of choice and then use the save function in DFHS to save the config to disk. I can then load that config into DFHS in Sonar. _________________ Ralph Zeuner
