Mixing MIDI
You can control the mixing and playback of a MIDI track as follows:
When moving the Volume fader, the Value box in the toolbar displays the level from a scale of 0
(minimum) to 127 (maximum). When you move the Pan slider, the Value box displays the pan value
on a scale that ranges from 100% Left to 100% Right with center represented by a C.
Converting MIDI to Audio
The following options cover three basic MIDI setups:
• If your MIDI tracks play back through a soft synth, use either the File > Export > Audio or Edit >
Bounce to Track(s) commands (see the procedures in “To Export Your Soft Synth Tracks as
Wave, MP3, or Other Type Files” on page 579, and “To Convert Your Soft Synth Tracks to New
Audio Tracks” on page 579).
• If your MIDI tracks play back through your sound card’s synthesizer, see the procedure below.
• If your MIDI tracks play back through external MIDI modules, simply connect their analog outputs
to the inputs on your sound card, and record to new audio tracks.
