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

Run a cable from the line out of the Roland to the line in of the soundcard.
Set CW up to record a new audio track .... Playback the MIDI track and record the new audio track at the same time.

Steve, if the computer is sending the information to the keyboard then what you need to do is this, run a MIDI cable from the MIDI OUT of the sound card to the MIDI IN on the keyboard.... you need to then run a cable from the AUDIO OUT of the keyboard to the AUDIO IN of the sonud card. You wiil need to have a MIDI track set up to send the data to the keyboard and an audio track set up to record the audio signal from the keyboard.... When you record just record to the audio track.... When you are done play it back with the MIDI track muted and you should hear the audio track........ Then you can either keep or delete the midi track........ personally I keep it so that I can make changes if needed........ just mute it in the mixdown.
