How do I transfer my MIDI tracks to audio for mixing? HELP!

Post by ddclark777 »

I know this is probably a dumb question and it is late, but I cannot figure out how to convert my MIDI tracks to digital audio so as to bounce down.

Can anyone help... PLEASE?

I do not know what your set up is so I will give the easy way to do it.
Create a new audio track for each of the MIDI instruments, then record enable track and one audio track and play one MIDI track at a time, check your record levels (if you wish to have them multi tracked so as to be able to add effects and balance levels). If you wish you could create one audio track and record all MIDI tracks into one track. If you are using VR••™s they will have an audio track just select the VR tracks into your bounce.
Remember you must select the audio tracks you wish to bounce and keep an eye on you record levels when you go from MIDI to audio.
