Recording Audio & Midi together

[Steve-Keys]

Hi all,

Saturday night and this is doing my head in!!
I have just played about for the first time with my old copy of Cakewalk Audio Pro V8.0. I have recorded some vocals on an audio track with the midi backing tracks. Now my problem is, how do i convert the whole thing over to a file that i can burn onto a CD (WAV file etc)?.
Should i have recorded the midi as audio first?, if so how can i do that when my computer is the one playing the midi & i am playing it back through my Roland keyboard soundcard?, do i need 2 computers?.
I am probably just not thinking this through logically, but if someone can give me a basic walk through i would be really grateful.

Are ther some tutorials somewhere?,

Steve

This question asked over and over, I realy think Dragon should allow us to stick it in FAQ...

Yes, you must record all MIDI track to audio before burning to CD. If you use external MIDI sound source (eg. Roland), then PC MIDI out to Roland MIDI in, and Roland audio out to PC Line in (audio). Cakewalk plays MIDI to Roland while records audio from Roland. 1 PC is enough.
