Hi, I am stuck trying to get a project to fully render my MIDI tracks as an audio file. There are two tracks outputting to my default wave device and two tracks outputting to the two MIDI software synths on my sound card.
I do not have any filters whatsoever running through the two MIDI tracks and playback inside Tracktion runs fine. The only other thing I have is a FinalMix filter on the master filter area (but the problem I am experiencing happens with or without this).
If I attempt to export the file as an audio file, it will render a file that only contains the two wave tracks. The two MIDI tracks, if they are present at all, are inaudible when played back. If I attempt to export as a MIDI file, it spends a minute rendering, and then no file is actually created.
This project is my final project for a music class I am taking and I really need to be able to render this as a .wav or a .aiff file.
Does anyone know of a way that I can do this? I want to use the sound banks assigned to the two MIDI tracks, so would prefer not to send them to an audio device due to a lack of appropriate voices for those parts.
Thanks for your help,
~Seth

Sorry if I'm misreading this, but you're using the MIDI synths on your sound card?landar wrote:Hi, I am stuck trying to get a project to fully render my MIDI tracks as an audio file.

If so, the MIDI goes straight to the onboard synth chips on the soundcard and straight out to the speakers, there is no way Tracktion (or any other host) can 'grab' the sound from the synth chip without routing it back in as an audio channel.
I'm sorry, but you'll have to either:
a) replace the soundcard synth output with similar VSTs which generate sound that can be rendered to WAV
b) find a way to route the output from your soundcard back into Tracktion (use a cable to connect the Line Out/Speaker Out to Line In/Mic In). Mute _all_ channels except the MIDI Soundcard Synth channels and then try recording on an empty Track, and then muting/removing the Synth channels when you're done.

I guess the reason is that the MIDI software synth's output is not going into Tracktion - T is just playing them, but their audio output goes straight to the soundcard physical outs.
Can you tell us more about your setup? Because this depends on the soundcard, but you should have audio input arrow(s) on the left side of Tracktion's main page, drag them to a track and then record. You might have to mute the other tracks, and fiddle with card channel settings, or even get an audio router app os fome sort...

The worked perfectly! Thank you so much for your help, I greatly appreciate it. 
I was able to assign my speaker outputs to a track, mute all other tracks except a MIDI track and then record the MIDI output to the new track as a wav track. What is also nice is that now I can run filters through these tracks, as I could not with the old MIDI tracks.
Thanks a bunch,
