Recording more than 16 bars of audio in Gadget 2
Firstly I want to say how inspiring Gadget is! Money well spent in my opinion. Anyway I have finished a few songs and I just need to put the vocals on. So last night I tried to record a full song of audio but I cannot see anywhere that you can record vocals from start to finish of a song.
It appears 16 bars of audio is the max! Please somebody tell me this is not the case! Or if it is there is a work around apart from exporting to a DAW?

Does it really have to be one take? Just split it up. Gadget is no linear DAW.
16 bar sections is hard-coded in the product design. It's a "beat box" perspective following in the shoes of the Korg hardware for that musical genre. Something they could address in an update but users seem to accept that approach and those that don't just stop using Gadget
for most of their project work. It's easy to get audio out of Gadget into a more flexible DAW
to add vocals, I suspect.
Korg has made a couple moves to open up their assets and gain additional users... like making Korg Module Pro an AUv3 app which has really helped me get value out of the
IAP's I purchased in Module... choirs, pianos and EP's, orchestras, synths (Triton!). ElecTribe Wave is also an AUv3 so I expect well see more Synth products following suit.
But opening up Gadget for more interoperability would be huge for me. I bought a lot of those Gadgets and just wandered away for the flexibility of AUM... which also has issues for
aligning a lot of parallel audio tracks since it doesn't really enforce a timeline and clocks and
playback precision can easily get off. So, I (and I suspect many others) just build a rig and record live sessions which is easy to build and frankly somewhat freeing. Even if the results
are usually terribly flawed... who cares. It's the please of doing that many crave because our audience is typically the readers and lurkers of this forum.
You can create multiple scenes (rows) and Zurich will record through the length of the whole project.
As Doug demos
@mojozart You're absolutely right, I already forgot about that ☺️
Recording into Gadget like this works very well for me (make sure to turn ‘loop’ off for the scene).
Unfortunately importing other (long) audio is a hassle (unless I’m missing something). First you have to import the audio file into each scene. Then you have to move the start point of the audio in every scene to match the song position (because its starts at the beginning of the audio file in a scene)...
Yes possibly but that would really hamper the spontaneity of the vocal recording. I really want it in one take if possible.
Damn didn't think of that!
I have gone down the route of exporting tracks to Cubasis 3 but that can become time consuming and leaves me thinking just adding proper audio recording into Gadget 2 would make it, for me anyway, nigh on perfect!
AUM is really great for on the fly creation but I have lost count of the AUM recordings I have with just a piano or guitar and vocal sessions. just basic demos really.
Just hoping Korg do open up Gadget to AUV3 as I have heavily invested in it in the last couple of weeks
Yes that's it ...perfect! Thank you.
Good tip thanks.
Problem solved.... in 2017. Damn. Korg just doesn't get much love around here.
Or sing twice as fast.
Maybe I should have learned to be a cattle auctioneer then I may have a chance!
