Hey all-
My only purpose for getting Cubasis VST is for recording MIDI drums tracks. I'd like to use my SampleTank VST drums, and somehow record a MIDI track, then perhaps export this to a .WAV file for use in Vegas.

I'll pretty much brand new regarding this stuff, and am hoping for links to tutorials, Websites, etc. Is it possible to load in the drums samples as a VST instrument, then record a MIDI track - ultimately being able use this track as audio for Vegas?

I hope this all makes sense - I'm pretty much confused with this all. I've done hardware sequencing in the past, but I've been spending most of my time tracking playing live instruments. I decided it would be easier (or so I thought) to use sampled drums and somehow record a MIDI track, convert that to audio, then pop it into Vegas as an audio track. Am I doing things the wrong way?

Thanks,

Warren

P.S. I'm using an m-audio AudioPhile 24/96 card as main card.
 
I'm not sure if thats the best way to do it I would just record the audio in Cubasis aswell personally), but it is a way of doing it.

I'm not sure if theres a way to turn a MIDI track to an audio track other than how I do it, but this is how I get along.

I mute everything except the MIDI track and a single blank audio track. Then record onto the audio track the input into your card, making sure that the output of your card is plugged directly into your input. This means the VST instrument is being exported from the card as a wave, then straight back into the card as a wave to be recorded. It should work as I've never had any problems.

There may be a more effectve software way of doing it, but like I said, I've never had any problems doing it this way.

Good Luck.

Neil
 
You should be able to just render it, if all that's in cubasis is the drum track. Then import into Vegas.

Even if you had more than one track, you could solo the track, or mute the ones you don't want, then render - that's how I do midi-to-audio inside Cubase (5.1).
