I'm using Cubasis VST 4.0 and need a little help with getting my MIDI recorded into the final product. I have some audio tracks recorded (bass and guitar) and I'm using one of Cubasis' VST instruments for the drum track. Now, I also have an external synthesizer whose sounds I want in the final mix, my MS2000B synth. I've gotten the sounds to record perfectly, and when I play back the track in Cubasis it sounds great, and plays whatever program I have selected on the synth. When I go to put the mixed product into WAV or MP3, I get all the tracks, including the onboard MIDI drums, but I don't get the synth sounds. How do I remedy this?
 
Record the audio output of the synth to a new audio track/tracks in the project. then you can mute those MIDI tracks that are assigned to the synth.
 
alright well that could work... is there any way i could send it out in the MIDI format though? If I can't I can easily do what you suggested though, I'd just prefer to do it that way. How is it that the drum sample works but not the synth?
 
MIDI format doesn't transfer audio ... just the MIDI data. Hence you would get no sound from an external sound module without monitoring it's own audio output.
The VSTi doing the drum tracks is using digital audio samples that are on the computer and available to Cubasis.
 
I was afraid of that.

So then what good is it to record with MIDI? And how is it that the sounds that come with the computer translate into the final mix while the external devices don't?

I'm relatively new to MIDI so I'm really just beginning to learn about it.

Thanks for your help
