I've never been able to hear any midi tracks when i export my songs. I know that midi can be exported by itself but is there a way to export midi and audio tracks into say a wav or mp3 file simultaneously? Thanks!
 
No.

Both wav and mp3 files are audio files. Neither file format includes any MIDI data.

More generally: I think you're confusing yourself with the notion of "hearing" a MIDI track. To be accurate, you can't hear a MIDI track: you can only hear a synth playing a MIDI track. Here's an analogy: you can't hear a text file, or a book, either. You need someone to read it out loud.

If you're using DAW software, and you have a MIDI track in there that you're hearing, that's because you're having some synth (most likely your computer itself, playing a virtual instrument) playing it. You can certainly export that audio into a wav or mp3 file - either as a part of a mix or as a separate track.
 
@ssjohnston I think he can hear the track but in earlier versions of cubase the midi track doesn't get exported.

When I was using LE I had to play the song and record the output. Check your input options and see if you can do that.
 
Okay, that makes more sense.

It sounds like what his problem is, reworded:
- He wants to include the audio outputs of soft synths in the WAV or MP3 he exports from the software.
- He can hear those outputs when he monitors, but they're not in the exported file.

Of course, I don't know how to solve the problem, but your suggestion sounds like it might be the ticket.
