The two " Bidule-in" devices were simply drug over from the MIDI Devices section of the Palette. So I'm not exactly sure I get the whole idea of how these programs play together.ĭon't worry - it sounds like you're already halfway there. I have a small amount of midi experience, most of it from college 10 years ago. Other than these connections in this window, is there any other configuration that needs to take place in this program? I'm assuming I'll have to set my midi out in Finale to IAC, but is there anything else? I can get VD2 as an AU Music Device (if that's the correct way?), and the recorder, but I haven't figured out the bidules.

I'll give that a try, but at a quick glance, I'm not sure how to get the bidules to appear in that window. Plus (and this is a big one) you can save your VDL2 configurations without having to manually reload instruments. It may seem a bit geeky, but overall allows for you to set up a nice audio workflow. You can make it as complex or simple as you need. Double-click this guy and it allows you to record to wav or aiff, anything that gets routed into it.īasically, all those " bidules" are separate devices that were just dragged out of the " Palette" window. In addition, there are two output cables from the mixer INTO the " Audio File Recorder" (highlighted). Then OUT of the mixer to the Built-in soundcard of the computer.

MIDI goes from this driver INTO Virtual Drumline 2 (note there are two instances loded here). You can also use Midi Yoke, Maple Midi, or IAC Driver here depending on your computer/configuration. In this case, " Bidule 1" and " Bidule 2" represents the virtual midi cables (midi input to bidule) that would be set as OUTPUTS in notation program. Look at this image and follow the routing top to bottom: Thanks again.ĭon't worry - I had the same reaction the first time I saw Bidule, but it's actually quite simple and gives a nice visual representation to how your sound is routed. Can you, or anyone else with experience, walk throught the steps of how to set it up to record? I've looked at bidule, and my head hurts.

The licensing agreement will allow two installs, so this would certainly be another option for you. If you want to use your ProTools setup at work, you can do a VDL2 installation (on a second machine). Currently, this is a free program and it's very cool! The fact that it's a multi-track audio editor and it's FREE is nothing short of a miracle!Īlso, you can load VDL2 (as a VST or AU plug-in) into Bidule, which also has an " Audio File Recorder" utility. I've not used it before, but I've heard good things.

If you are using one of the above options on very dense scores, and need to put multiple audio files together, you can download AUDACITY for free. While this is great in terms of simplicity, it may not give the best results for audio quality. Bear in mind, these are utilities where you essentially hit record, then hit play in your notation program, and the recording utility will capture whatever's coming from the machine. For Windows, we've seen good results from #1 Sound Recorder. There are a variety of inexpensive/free recording programs that can help you make recordings on a budget. Is there any possibility to do what I described so I don't have to drop another hundred-something on a recording program for home?

Is there any possibility of installing the plug-in only at work so I can make recordings? With $200 for VD2, $100 for a controller, and $100 to upgrade my memory, it's getting rather costly pretty quick.
#HOW TO SET UP PLOGUE BIDULE REWIRE PRO#
I do my writing at home, but at work I have Pro Tools. I just want to know if that's the only option to make audio files. Am I correct in assuming that I will need some sort of multi-track program to make audio files? Up until now, I've been using stock QuickTime midi voices (on the Mac) and exporting aiff's from there.
