Hi - sorry if this is dumb but someone has to ask: I don't hear a response in midi files w final mix - only audio files. Am I missing something? thanks.

Final mix is an audio processor.. its not supposed to do anything to MIDI data: MIDI is just a list of instructions, it has no actual sound until it reaches a synth or sampler.

So do you have to record MIDI parts as audio into other tracks or, convert MIDI parts to audio somehow, before creating your final/master mix?

Well ... until you send a midi track to a synth of some sort it's not audio. You can't hear anything. That doesn't mean you have to render the midi to an audio track, but it must hit some kind of synth before it hits final mix. You can't have, eg

midi track --> Final Mix --> Lounge Lizard synth

the order would need to be

midi track --> Lounge Lizard --> Final Mix

Of course you can render the midi to audio and then process it through Final Mix if you prefer ...

Hang on a minute, Dogboy73 knows this kind of thing i'm pretty sure ... you are aware that Final Mix is a filter (plugin) bundled with Tracktion, aren't you? You're not thinking people are talking about creating "a master mix" or something like that?

Actually I wasn't aware of that! And I was talking about mixing down to a stereo track or master mix (or whatever it's called!). I'm working on a track in Trackton 2 right now. I'm using audio parts, the ImpOSCar soft synth & my MS2000. How do I mix that down to a streo audio file :?:

Cheers.

press 'export' and choose 'audio file'. No need to render MIDI parts to audio first: do that if you want to reduce cpu during playback, or edit the audio directly.

As easy as that? Cool.

Can't believe I've had Tracktion this long & never knew that! :)
