Subject:No MIDI sound when recording midi track.

I have sf ACID4.0. and A SB LIVE Plantinum5.1. I use a usb midi keyboard.
When I try to record a midi track while playing an audio track. I only hear the audio. I can see the midi input monitor, but I don't hear the MIDI sound.After recording I can play both the audio track and the recorded MIDI track and hear both.
I can understand that maybe the soundcard isn't able to play both midi direct and audio tracks. Is it an option to install my old SB Live soundcard and try 2 play audio tracks on the first one(soundcard1) an d midi on the second(soundcard2)?

Would really appreciate you help

The Live! should be able to let you monitor what you're recording along with playback. Sounds like a mixer issue. Have you tried recording digital audio (instead of MIDI) while playing back?

In the record screen, you need to have your midi thru drop down box set to whatever you want to here. You also need to have "real time midi" enabled.

I tried everything you and mD said, but still no luck. Maybe this has something to do with me using the soundfont banks?? I can't pull out the midi thru, cause i do'nt have that. I'me only able to HEAR midi when A device (the keyboard from creative, cubase or any other software enables the soundbanks). By the way in cubase all this works fine( but cubase vst32 sucks with audio editing).

Could be. Still, if you're trying to use a VSTi, try checking out an earlier post of mine to see if that helps.

HTH,
