well done boy! I dropped TRK 01 because of this 4 years ago, but will definitely give it another shot again thanks to your vid! Cheers!

[@ShootieSchool]

Awesome!

[@hunterross2560]

Man this is exactly what I needed, I've had this thing for a year now and never used it because I didn't know how to control the damn thing.

[@ShootieSchool]

Good to hear!

[@mmaaxx_music]

I love your "unprofessional" tutorial. It's real. :D

[@ShootieSchool]

Thanks!

[@murahachibu]

That’s really helpful. I’ve just started messing with this thing and it’s been a ball ache every step of the way, but this is really helpful in figuring out how to make it play well with the rest of my tracks.

[@thosesmallyesterdays]

"that's how you tame the beast".. Came for that, and learned how to tame it, 4 years later! Still pretty crazy there's no obvious way of arranging NI's best sounding low-end, but yeah, thanks anyways!

[@toddlask]

man, ni needs to do better with playing and stopping.

[@rajivmannari]

Sigh ! Tell me about it mate lol

[@Bmacorr]

so helpful. I was using the plugin but couldn't figure out how to actually get into the Daw to be recorded. Thanks.

[@ShootieSchool]

Great to hear!

[@paulwhiting1731]

I believe you can also turn off either side or both sides by using DAW automation targeted to the speaker icon., this would eliminate the need for empty mute patterns.

[@caruby6969]

So helpful. This has made use of the plug-in feasible for me. Strange that they haven't made it clearer for users. Thank you.

[@ShootieSchool]

Good to hear!

[@rajivmannari]

Brilliant :) :) :) Thank you soooo much for this mate... Couldn't find this info anywhere.. And I cannot believe someone actually disliked this video??? C'mon this IS the Zen of TRK 01... Had been routing it to an audio channel everytime n I hated it for that... Cheers mate \m/,

[@Armagedonski]

Thank you!

[@jacka55penguin]

I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out a way to actually be able to use this thing. What I did.... I armed a track to record and just went to town. It's loop based so I trimmed off what I needed and looped that section or copy pasted etc. Honestly, I prefer to use my own kick in my own project and not use with one in the plugin...at least for now. I can duck what I need to with a plugin. Until I find a delicious enough kick anyway. Just because some of this plugin is more interested than as a whole. I haven't spent a ton of time with it. but doing 1 kick track and another separate bass track would probably make it easier to make music...that isn't film scoring etc. Cheers!

[@urbanman1516]

You sound great un-scripted:)

[@rileyalldredge]

Thank you for this I just started dabbling with it last night. You just saved me so much time and frustration.

[@ShootieSchool]

Thanks for commenting!

[@PeterJoslynHarris]

You saved me so much aggravation! Thank you so much!

[@ShootieSchool]

Awesome!

[@netuno_music]

NI have so much stuff you end up missing great tools like this one. Thanks for the help btw

[@ShootieSchool]

You got it, thank you!

[@AnthonyGrau]

Great tip ! Thank you :)

[@pulsarstar]

Thank you Shootie! This was so helpful!

[@LacyRdPrd68]

Thank you that was really helpfull

[@ShootieSchool]

Good to hear!

[@juan15236]

thanks this helps me

[@ShootieSchool]

Awesome! Great to hear!

[@jakobmariamierscheid344]

Had been looking for this solution for a long time. 🙏 and greetings from Hamburg/GER

[@ShootieSchool]

Awesome!

[@Nicolas-nd2hd]

Thank you so much, I found your tutorial through Google and that trick is great. I wish something more simple was programmed right into it... In the meantime this will work great! edit: I just looked through the comments and yes, an automation is good as well. You can use bypass plugin or just straight up Volume all the way down.

[@ShootieSchool]

Good to hear!

[@Suruga-Sound]

Thank a lot for the video, september 2022 still have the same problem with TRK what happening? bug ?

[@ShootieSchool]

You got it!

[@wrigna1]

How does Ableton know specifically where I want MIDI from TRK-01 to start and stop in my project?? I'm not getting any sound from any TRK-01 MIDI clips at all. Can anyone please help?? 🙏

[@nick3795]

Nice, I hadn't quite got that far so it's good for me, thanks

[@ambrosiolerma4596]

Thanks a lot, se trata de hacerlo amigable y lo más sencillo.....

[@tarekp]

Thanks man, it was driving me crazy

[@ShootieSchool]

Thanks for saying!

[@kanishkasarkar]

Perfect, thanks a lot my friend

[@continuummusic220]

Thank you.

[@wowerman]

All good but its too much diving in plugin and setting parameters for notes. I prefer regular step DAW sequencer and keyboard for creating beats. Thanks anyway.

[@graysonfaith]

Thanks! Is there any way to just record the TRK01 output to an audio track in my DAW in real time?

[@ShootieSchool]

Sure. You would set the output if the TRK channel to the input to an audio channel. Try a group that specializes in your DAW. Seems like a straight forward question.

[@harmoszka500]

@@ShootieSchool E.g. resampling-I think.

[@NovemberVIHR]

just turning off the whole TRK-01 channel in your DAW would also work

[@rajivmannari]

No it does not...

[@NovemberVIHR]

@@rajivmannari you mean muting (or reducing the volume) of the whole TRK channel in DAW doesn't work? Or what? Normally muting a channel would work regardless of what plugin is on that channel.

[@rajivmannari]

@Dmitrij Silov Thats all good mate but what I meant was triggering it to start and stop at specific times...What if you wanted it to start at the 3/4th of the 10th bar. Because once you hit the play button it just keeps on the loop and we would not have that control of it to specifically trigger/start with volume automation.

[@NovemberVIHR]

@@rajivmannari oh, I see. As far as I understand this synth, it's hard-linked to host start-stop. I mean it's not designed to run separately from DAW playback. The only way to handle it is via complete TRK track mute/unmute/volume control, or you may route to separate audiotracks the kick, bass, delay and reverb of TRK - and then play with automations to manage these elements. You may do that also via automation of TRK itelf, e.g. muting Kick only. I do that in Ableton Live, should be possible in any DAW. Also you may export certain loops from TRK - kick, bass, all the variances - but that's also offline type of control.

[@NovemberVIHR]

As an alternative you may have separate TRK Kick and separate TRK Bass instances, if you own these standalone plugins. This way you may code any MIDI sequences/controls in your DAW.
