alota times when doing composition stuff in pro tools with midi, ill get the dreaded hardware buffer message.
after increasing its size to 1024, only way around iit ive found is to turn this stuff into waves and just hope its finished correctly.
but that takes a long ass time to bus each indiviual take into recorded audio.

so heres my question.

is there a midi to audio converter for pro tools,, and if so can i get a link.

i need a g5 man :(

thanx, take care.
 
no midi to audio converters huh?
ok guess ill start saving my$$ then..
damn.

thanx anyways.
 
25 hours and you're giving up already?

If I knew exactly what you meant by a 'midi to audio converter' I would be glad to point you in the right direction. The way your original post was phrased I wasn't entirely sure even you knew exactly what you were looking for...
 
well, i wish i had a tool(in pro tools) that could
1.take my midi notes
2.take the sound that the midi notes are driving
3 calculate what the audio would be for it
4give me a new audio music track of the midi performance

i makes sence in my head, but to explain it is a little tougher.
sorry.
 
What you are describing is essentially what a softsynth is. It's a software synthesizer that responds to MIDI messages like any other MIDI synth would. Technically it doesn't convert the MIDI data, it plays it, and you can record the audio result like you could anything else. Since the synth is running on the computer, the signal routing is all virtual.

I'm sure Pro Tools LE supports VST synths. What are you using now to play the MIDI track? Something external? If that's the case, you just record its output to an audio track while the synth is playing back the MIDI track.
