How do I burn MIDI Tracks to CD?

Post by rholsapple »

I'm using DP 4.12 and have created a sequence using five SampleTank2 MIDI tracks. How can I get this to CD? I've tried bouncing to disk and converting, but all I get is an empty file. Any help would be appreciated.

You need to create audio files from the MIDI tracks first. Route them to an audio track, or better yet, separate audio tracks, and record them as audio. Then select them for the bounce to disc and you should be fine.

Or- if you prefer an audio track on a CD rather than a digital audio file (wav, aif) then why not do a "virtual" mix of your MIDI tracks directly to a CD recorder-that is if you have one.

You can also accomplish the task by selecting those 5 SampleTank virtual instrument tracks and and MIDI tracks used for SampleTank.

Then select "Freeze Tracks" from the audio menu (I think) and it will bounce your MIDI / SampleTank tracks in audio. You can simply export that "frozen" audio track.
