Midi To Audio

[slinky]

HI, Can anyone enlighten me here? It seems that in order to convert my midi tracks to audio in order to export an audio file, I have to connect the line out of my sound card to the line in to record it that way. Is this right, I ask? I`m using a pc, cubase 5, sw1000xg sound card and monitors..... I know that the soundblaster live for example has an internal facility for doing this.

'Export audio' in the cubase master channel should do it. Otherwise, your soundcard should have an option to record midi.

SB Live??

Hey there,
This may be a very basic question for people who make music ony using MIDI.. I have a quite a little experience in using MIDI... I have Cubase and Trinity Korg...before i start using Cubase i have to chage my MIDI settings from creative(Which i think is the sound card ) to SB Live out... why do you do it?.. whats that SB Live..Why do i have to change it from Creative to SB Live Out?
Am sure this is a very basic stupid question but i would be really happy if you could tell me what it is.
thank yoiu,.,

Alright Son,

I too had the same problems as you with the sw1000xg, sorted it now and it works like a dream. First of all go to audio settings then go in system and change to the sw1000xg driver if you already havent and also select global monitoring(this stops you getting feedback), then after you have done this go to your inputs and select loopback 1/2, next mute all the audio and midi tracks apart from the one you want to record then select the audio track you want to record it to(make sure that it is stereo) then record, after you midi sample has finished mute it and listen to the audio track should have recorded.


Jobs a Carrot !!!

hello Slight. nice to see ya. thanks for that, I`ll try it out.
I can`t help wondering if I somehow missed this point in Steinberg`s answer to War and Peace! In the mean time I did plug the sw1000xg back in to itself ( audio out
- line in) which works, but the said internal solution must be better. Slinky.

To convert midi to audio use the windows mixer. The recording option select midi, mute any midi tracks you don´t want converted, activate an audio track and sit back and have a coffee while you record. You can also select the "what you hear" option. No reason to be running cables man. Do it all internally. You can convert one track at a time, lots of audio tracks, no?, or mix all midi to a pair to retain stereo. Good luck!
