Hello:

I tried recording a simple bass line using teh bass machine VST (I just bought and installed Sam x 3 suite). I have a laptop with win 10. Any ways......it is NOT playing back the bass I thought I recorded????

 

I do have a focusrite scarlett 212 interface that was not connected.

What do I need to do.....any help is appreciated.

Press "Y" and try change current Driver System to any other and do a play.

I am absoultely new at this. So, please bear with me here.

When I record bass from the bass machine VST....is that a MIDI file, or is it a sound file like when I run guitar into the DAW from my interface?

hello Mike, all vst produce midi notes, but you can record them after in audio on a separate audio track I presume.

When you copy the midi notes to another vst instrument, then you will hear the sound of the new instrument but with the same notes : it's a electronic message send to an electronic instrument which produces a sound. Hope it help.

Thanks. I got it to work last night......I was using the keyboard of the vst instead of sam keyboard....
