Hello everyone,

I have one MIDI file with four voices, and I'm trying to find an easy way to export a specific note MIDI selection to its own track. I have duplicated the one MIDI track with all the voices four times, and in each MIDI file, have erased all the other voices except the correct one. So in theory I have MIDI Voice 1, MIDI Voice 2, MIDI Voice 3, and MIDI Voice 4.

The problem comes in when I want to have more control within the voices themselves. I'm working with a kind of reverb soundscape, so when the chimes comes in and they're panned hard left, they're still ringing by the time I pan to hard right. I want them to ring in both ears in this scenario, so I'm forced to create two different tracks, one for when it comes in the left, and one for the right, to make sure they both have an opportunity to fade out accordingly.

TLDR; is there a way to record a MIDI note selection to a new track easily and quickly, without duplicating a MIDI file over and over?

Apologies if there's already an answer out there for this – I just do not know what this is called or whether it's even an option in the first place. I just do stuff the old-fashioned analog way if need be, but it is cumbersome and annoying at times.

Check out the “Split Notes” command.

Actually not sure if that’s the answer. I’m still a little confused about what you’re attempting to do.

Thanks for trying to help out!

Basically, imagine a single MIDI track with a range of higher/lower voices. I want to be able to just drag a box around certain notes, hit record, and record just those notes in the MIDI track to a new stereo track. Does that make more sense?

The only other workaround is to make a new MIDI track for every single voice that I want to record separately.

Yeah. The o my other thing you could do is use the Mute tool and mute the MIDI notes you DON’T want to record, then do the bounce, and repeat the process.

Ahh! I didn't know that was an option! Is there a quick way to do this?

Also – what does your average DP user do when they have questions about the program? The 700 page manual is incredibly intimidating. There have to be video tutorials out there somewhere right?
