Hi, I'm new to Protools so this maybe a dumb question. Using M Box 6.7, I would like to convert a recorded Midi passage to audio.How is this done? Thank you

Re: Convert Midi to Audio
We need more information from you; what are you using as as MIDI sound module?
Do you even have a MIDI sound module? MIDI data is just instructions for the computer to play music; kind of like electronic sheet music. The MIDI data is the sheet music, the computer is the performer, and the performer needs an instrument to play; a MIDI sound module. You don't really need to "record" the audio output, because it will play back in time with the Protools session once it is imported, but you can. What you would do is to route the audio output from the MIDI sound module to an audio track.

Re: Convert Midi to Audio
Create a MIDI Track, click the MIDI Output selector and route the output to what ever device your using? then Channel ?. Create two Stereo Audio Track, and name them, one's for your Plug-in and the other for your recorded Audio. In the first Stereo Audio Track the one containing the Plug-in set the output to Bus 1-2. Then set the input of the second Stereo Audio Track (the one you want to record on) to Bus 1-2. Click the Record Enable button on the same track, then if you have data stored on your MIDI Track, press Enter to return to the start of your session for Playback and then one more thing Enable Input Only Monitor mode, you will find that under Operation or Alt+K (in the Transport your record button should turn green). Hit the Space bar and your rocking. (Fingers crossed)

Or simply click on bounce to disk on the file menu...and just the one "hey presto" theres your audio region which you can then drag into an available audio track.
Just remember to solo the the track before bouncing.

Re: Convert Midi to Audio
How does that work? My understanding of MIDI is that it stores performance data only.

No need for "hardware" routing if its a softsynth as the aux track with the activated plug-in is the instrument or sound output.

Re: Convert Midi to Audio
Very interesting, would this include Third Party or Rewire applications?

Re: Convert Midi to Audio
of course.If its software and you can play(MIDI) and hear it(AUX track) during playback,then yeah you can certainly bounce to disk.
my set up includes Kontakt and sampletank free (No hardware synths or module.) I bounce every track to audio once Im happy with the take- its easy on the cpu

Re: Convert Midi to Audio
Very good, I'll have to try this technique out myself. At the moment, I've put MIDI aside, because of CPU issues, but I love my Moog Modular V, you just have total control. I as every one else, are looking forward to version 7.0, fingers crossed no more CPU limitations, but time will tell and even then, I'd say we'd find ways of maxing out our systems. So did you figure this technique out yourself?
