So, Ive been playing with moving some of my QY tracks and songs (patterns and tracks) in my DAW.
Both my Audacity and Abelton, attempts have left the sound not coming through very clearly.

Have narrowed it down to either my Scarlett 2i2 interface being terrible (always a possibility) or that I'm not using the right cables to output.

Has anyone tried outputting the QY for recording purposes? Any tips on carrying the sound quality from the headphone jack out to a computer.

Sounds as good as it always has on headphones but not able to get the same quality signal to my computer.... odd.

Thanks in advance!!

No particular recording issues here. I made a Y cable myself, 1/8" stereo jack to 2x 1/4" mono, i.e. unbalanced. Audio interface is a Behringer xenyx q1202usb 12 channel mixer (surely, the Scarlett has better AD/DA converters!}. I'm using one of the 4 stereo channels. I record using Reaper on a Ubuntu/KXStudio laptop (refurbished lenovo x220, i5, 8 GB RAM). I set the QY output volume approx. at 1/2 to 3/4 and set gain on the mixer so that I have about -12/-10 dB on Reaper. The idea is coming out of the QY not too loud, avoiding distortion and having as much headroom as possible, and raise (if needed) signal level at the mixer.

Hope this helps!

Great thank you. The Y cable solved the audio quality issue perfectly, and chaning default 'warp' setting from 'beat' to 'complex' in ableton solved the rendered sound skipping. I'll keep the QY's levels in mind and try and get them to an optimally low place on record.

Next up: will be trying to disable all effects at the QY level and record each voice separately while using midi to sync. In some cases I may use the WAV from the QY voices and in some cases try to augment or add on the midi tracks with new VST's. Very excited to say the least. Feel like this has been weeks in the remediation. Appreciate the response and help very much Prea.

Thanks!

Interestingly(?) in spite of midi clock sync it is very hard to record each voice separately and have them line up... unless ive done something wrong. Midi data records as expected but when you use the clock to try and record each voice as an audio track, things slip a little. Will have to figure out if there is a more sure way.

I guess I could do most of the mixing on the QY and record them all together, but that sacrifices some of the possibilities of separate tracks in ableton.

This was solved somehow... tinkering enough with the settings and in ableton changing the warping algo to 'complex' did the trick.
