In the DAW I name the track I'm recording a hardware synth into the name and number of the preset of that synth. The MIDI channel each uses is well known to me; 3rd Wave is 1, Prologue is 2, etc. I don't know if everyone does this, but since I usually have more than two projects I'm working on at a time, naming the DAW tracks keeps me from forgetting what is being recorded.With software, the state of my virtual synth tracks are embedded in the project. So I open the cubase project and everything is as I left it -- synth state, effects rack, midi data, everything. Even a decade ago. It's all there and ready to be edited, worked, and reworked as I please.
Does something like this UBxa allow for that? Can you have multiple tracks with different patches where one can click on a track to automatically switch to whatever patch and settings were set for that track? Then click on a different track also linked to the UBXa and get it's different patch and settings automatically loaded?
I'm not sure for recording that introducing hardware would not become a tedious and much more limiting work flow.
So how do you guys overcome this? Are you guys recording full songs or just noodling? Are you simply recording fixed audio tracks? Producing with software until the final mixdown and then switching to hardware? Something else?
Reading above now, I usually have program change turned OFF in my MIDI receive because I don't want the accidental change possibility.
