Tutorial 8—Using Soft Synths
You can also do a temporary conversion, called freezing. See Freeze
Tracks and Synths for more information.
To Convert Your Soft Synth Tracks to New Audio
Tracks
1. Mute all tracks that you don’t want to convert; make sure you don’t
mute the synth track(s) that the soft synth is patched into, or the MIDI
track(s) that you are using as a source.
2. Let’s set our MIDI tracks to use different outputs on the TTS-1: in the
TTS-1 interface, click the System button to open the System Settings
panel, and click the Option button in System Settings to open the
Options dialog.
3. On the Output Assign tab look in the Tone Name column, and click one
of the four Output buttons next to each name in the Tone Name
column. This assigns your individual MIDI instruments to different audio
outputs from the TTS-1. Click the Close button.
4. Use the Edit-Select None command to make sure nothing is selected.
5. Use the Edit-Bounce to Track(s) command.
The Bounce to Track(s) dialog box appears.
6. In the Source Category field, choose Tracks.
7. In the Channel Format field, choose mono if you want mono tracks, and
stereo if you want stereo tracks.
8. In the Source/Buses field, make sure all 4 outputs are selected. This
will create a separate audio track for each selected output. If you
wanted to combine your MIDI tracks into just one audio track, send all
the MIDI tracks through just one output (Step 3), and select only that
output in the Source/Buses field.
9. In the Mix Enables field, make sure all choices are selected.
10. Click OK.
SONAR creates new audio tracks from the outputs you selected. When
you’re through converting, don’t forget to mute your MIDI tracks so you
won’t hear them and the new audio track(s) at the same time.
To Export Your Soft Synth Tracks as Wave, MP3, or
Other Type Files
1. Mute all tracks that you don’t want to export; make sure you don’t mute
the synth track(s) that the soft synth is patched into, or the MIDI track(s)
that you are using as a source. If you converted your soft synth tracks
