HOW TO RECORD THE NOVATION MININOVA (or other synthesizers)

Музыка

HOW TO SET UP THE NOVATION MININOVA / HOW TO RECORD THE NOVATION MININOVA OR OTHER SYNTHESIZERS. This video is geared towards beginners that have just purchased their first synth and are looking to record audio with it. I am using Ableton live 11 as my digital audio workstation, but you can use any daw. Hope this helps!
What you need:
2 Quarter inch cables - amzn.to/3xVZEBU
An audio interface - amzn.to/3Oj6BlO (I use the 6i6, but the one I linked here is more affordable and works the same for recording)
Quarter inch adapter - amzn.to/3zHfphc ( for connecting headphones to mini nova)
Microphones I use:
XLR Condenser Mic - amzn.to/3xVSRI4
Review video: • Rode NT1-A Microphone ...
XLR Dynamic Mic - amzn.to/3xWlXHD
USB Mic (most affordable) - amzn.to/3xVZoCW
Example of using the vocoder from the Mininova

    @Autumn Gard Thank you for a clear 'basic' vid that doesn't assume "everyone knows" things that everyone does NOT know. As a side note, the Novation Ultranova (big sibling of the Mininova with the same sound engine) has an audio interface built into it. Yes, it costs more but if you add the price of a Mini to an interface, the difference is small and the Ultranova has full size keys with aftertouch and a lot of easily accessible controls on the surface.

    For anyone trying to set up a synth and for some reason can't get any sound or midi through to the DAW, check the input and output channel numbers. In FL Studio it will look like a little box that has "--" in it. You can set the channel number in there and make sure the input and output are the same number. If you have multiple synths hooked up at the same time, make sure each are set to different channels. For example: main synth set to "1" and drum machine set to "2" ect...

    Hi, is there a way you can use Mininova to trigger notes from a channel in daw? for example if you use VST, you assign it to a channel, and then draw notes on, but if you just record audio, you can insert it as a clip,so no possibility to change it, you would need to record the entire audio again...is there a solution for this? Also, if it is possible to dp it on this way,how about multiple.channels at the same time, as you would use any vst on multiple.channels?

    Hi Autumn, thanks for the tutorial. Can I record Mininova into my DAW as midi? I mean, not as audio voice so that I can more easily quantize etc

  • @thetrashpanda9085

    Yes, you can record as midi. Since you are connected through USB, the USB can read and send as midi without having to use a special midi to USB connector. Those are for when you have an older synth that doesn't have a USB port. Each DAW is a little different when it comes to recording midi to a track. Some DAWs need a specific track created for the midi while others can switch between audio and midi tracks. If you do a search of "Recording midi in ___ DAW" you'll find lots of tutorials here on youtube for your specific DAW. I hope this helps.

    Hi Autumn Gard, I haven't had the Minivova for long and have noticed that the external input only makes a sound when I turn up the FX control in the audio menu, how can I turn off the FX effect to only hear the pure input sound ? Is that possible ? I would be very grateful for a solution!

    @@AutumnGardMusic No luck I'm afraid. I'm recording through the mic socket, which is itself broken. It only records in mono. So I have to record the main tune in mono, which sounds like it's in the middle of the sound stage. Then record left and right stereo tracks using sound files, in a DAW. It's crazy 😄 I haven't given up on the Beringer interface. One day I'll have a new computer, or a second hand one. Or maybe I'll take up painting 😊
