Midi to audio file in sonar cakewalk

[chanmaster5000]

all u do is select the move tool and move the midi down into the audio track. i think....

The way I do it - loop audio patch cables from the output of the card into input on the card, mute the input so it doesn't bleed through (create a loop), then you cna bounce in realtime as much as you want.

Hello ddshaper. I did exactly the same as you and for me it worked, I could even select the exact place to start recording. I have the Input and output in the same device, which means the midi doesn't play thru my synth but thru the soundcard. Do you have the output set to play thru your synth? If so, then there is no way for the output to enter the recording session again. Sorry if someone has already said this.

@SeKaBroN I had to buy an external device to use midi as my card had no midi input. will get back to you on which device. It has been so long and I have moved and not reassembled everything. Thanks. I'd done this for an answer man here on youtube.

@SeKaBroN dustpuppy's channel. you probably have a different sound card. which one do you have??

Another way to do it is to solo only the midi file and generate another audio file which then needs to be imported into the song as you would mix a song, in this case you're only mixing the output of the midi and reimporting it.

File->Export->choose wav type

@spiralingcrazies thanks. I don't know how to do any of this stuff and basically gave up.

How to record the whole thing in mp3?

[PETSH0PB0YS1]

Use Soundforge........Convert WAV>MP3....cheers

[chaincells]

Thanks :]!

The newer Sonar is much easier than the older ones...

Go to FILE - EXPORT - AUDIO...

Choose filtype and quality and have fun!!

No need to create a wave from MIDI first at all, everything is now done directly from MIDI too :-)

Great tool! :-)

[PETSH0PB0YS1]

Sorry mate accidently did a thumbs down :(..... when it should of been an Excellent Thumbs UP..sorry.. thanks for tip...also select "What you HEAR" in the PRESET Box and change the BIT DEPTH.....important to Hit SOLO again before going into FILE >EXPORT>etc..many thanks again

MASTERING TEMPLATE IS AWESOME!!!!

[iwritemysongsforyou]

Here's an easier/MUCH faster way:

1.) Solo the midi track you want to convert to audio.

2.) Click "Edit -> Bounce to track(s)..."

3.) Set the "Destination" output to "New track."

4.) Click "OK."

This will take any track that is soloed and convert it to a new audio track.

You can change the other settings if you'd like. Before you bounce, make sure there aren't any clips selected. If there are, just click on an empty space in the track pane.

Hope that helps!

Okay, I got everything to work once, using your method. It was seemingly quick and very easy. However, I haven't been able to do it again. Please explain, you! lol

[bluecafe69]

What input/output are you using. There is no fucking information about this shit anywhere! This comment is the best I can find. Seriously!!

[PETSH0PB0YS1]

Hi mate i tried your method and it still gives non data/wav track....? am i missing something? Using V8.3 Sonar

1.) Solo the midi track you want to convert to audio.

2.) Click "Edit -> Bounce to track(s)..."

3.) Set the "Destination" output to "New track."

4.) Click "OK."
