[SOLVED] Waveform - How to Bounce MIDI Clip to Audio?

[bcgreen24]

The subject line says it all...how in the hell do you bounce MIDI clips to audio?

Thanks!

Add a sound generator to the track then freeze or bounce it - midi on its own is just data

That's my question: how do I bounce a MIDI clip to audio. It's playing a VST-- I want to bounce the MIDI clip out to audio.

[bcgreen24]

( with other DAW's, for example, you generally right-click on the clip and choose 'render in place' or 'bounce in place' )

Use the Render option. Hang on a mo, and I'll add to this...

1. Highlight the track.
2. In the properties panel, click on Render Track.
3. Choose suitable option.

Yeah, I was thinking 'Render Clip->Render the Selected Clip'-- but attempting this gives a 'didn't find audio to render' message.

The 'Render Track' button gives me the same message "didn't find audio to render".

Surely there's an easy way to bounce out clips (or at least tracks). I couldn't have sworn I've done it before in Tracktion/Waveform....

Which sub-option did you choose? Is Pass Through Plugins still chosen?

[bcgreen24]

DAMMIT! Thanks for pointing out my stupid mistake.

Cheers!

If you are using Waveform 9 there is a little file icon on the header of the clip, you can just drag that to another track, your file browser, your loop library, a sampler etc. It will tag the rendered file as an acid loop as well.

[bcgreen24]

Oh, damn! But-- whenever I start to drag a MIDI clip (using the 'file' icon in the header), it starts to render, then when it's done rendering and I continue to drag it into the browser and release it, nothing gets placed in the browser...I'll have to review the manual.

*** Never mind--it is working after all ****

That's pretty slick!

Slick indeed!

Curious, is there a setting I'm not finding that determines the default rendering parameters when you use the clip's file icon / drag method. It defaults to 44.1 / 24 bit renders, which is a good default, yet some may want something different.

I know you can do a standard render and make it as you like.

It uses your current sample rate / 24 bit / .wav

Sweet!

Just tested it at 88.2 and it worked great.
