Convert MIDI tracks into Audio tracks

I started to convert the MIDI tracks in my project to Audio tracks. Unfortunately the input audio signal is very weak. Is this normal for a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro ? Anyway, working with that weak signal I raised the signal level using the Play Control of my Sound card. As a result I got an awful noise in the monitors. I canceled the action but the noise didn't stop. Now as a result I have a permanent noise coming from my Sound Blaster Play control. I found that the CD Digital output of the Play Control produced that noise. I muted that output and the noise disappeared. But I can't use the CD Digital output of my Sound Blaster. Is that a software or a hardware problem?
Any suggestion and help is welcome.

No, weak MIDI conversion to audio isn't normal. Can you give more detail as to how you are going about said conversion?
You probably don't have anything attached to the CD Digital input, unconnected inputs can pick up noise, and in fooling around with the play control you likely enabled that input (or just turned up the volume of your analog inputs). Muting unconnected inputs is a good thing to do; to some extent so is muting inputs you're not using at the moment.

I can't Convert midi files into any other format

A few months ago, I was able to convert midi files into mp3 when one day, I updated iTunes using software update. Ever since the updates I had for my Mac it still hasn't work.
It has this error that won't allow me to convert. I talked to my friend wrldwzrd89 who is one of my friends and he said that it is because Apple had a piece of data missing allowing midis to be converted to mp3, or any other format.
Is this true or do you know the solution?

I can't tell you the exact reason why it doesn't work, but there is an article about this problem and a solution if you have QuickTime Pro:
iTunes: MIDI files cannot be converted in iTunes 6.0.3 and 6.0.4
Not the last sentence in the article. That usually means they're working on a fix.
No guarantee that it will be fixed in the next version however. We'll have to wait and see.
Hope this helps.

Converting video podcasts into audio podcasts?

I have an iPod Nano, so I obviously can't watch video podcasts on it. But that's fine with me because most all of my video podcasts are of stand up comedy. Is there anyway that I can just take the audio track off of a video podcast and save it as audio to put onto my Nano so that I can listen to the stand up comedy?
Thanks for your time if you're answering me.

Open the file in QuickTime and select Export from the File menu. In the dialog box that opens, select Sound to AIFF from the drop-down menu next to Export (near the bottom of the box). Add the exported file to iTunes and either leave it in AIFF format or use the Advanced menu (Convert Selection to _) to convert the file to MP3 or AAC. If you convert it, you can delete the original AIFF file afterwards.
You should be able to put the file on your iPod like you would any other music file even if you leave it in AIFF format.

Anyway to turn all tracks into audio all at once without bouncing

I have old sessions using midi samples from old hard drive. I would like to make all tracks audio before retiring the Hard drive

You could use the Export function "all tracks to Audio data" (to be found at the bottom of Save menue). This will transform your Midi Instruments into Audio (it ignores the Automation though).

Midi(software synths) into Audio?

I heard that in Logic,you lay down midi(software synth's) and then covert that into audio,is this true and if so how can it be done? Can this be done in Logic Express and Logic Pro?

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but if you mean CAN you convert MIDI tracks into audio, yes, you can. You just solo the MIDI track, do a bounce, and add the resulting audio track back into the song.
If you mean do you HAVE to convert MIDI tracks to audio, no, you don't have to. When you bounce the whole mix to stereo, all MIDI tracks are also recorded to audio. That way you can continue to edit them until the final mix.

How do i save a midi track as a .smf?

i need to save a looped midi region (click track) as an .smf, not a .mid. can't seem to find that option anywhere.

what program uses the extension .smf? is it another music program?
to use a logic midi track in another program you need to export it as a Standard Midi File (SMF) which has the .mid extension then you can import it into another music program. Logic does not convert midi tracks to any other extension except .mid

Converting MIDI files - Unknown Error (-50)

I have been converting MIDI files into MP3 and AAC formats with iTunes without any problems for almost a year. Suddenly, after the latest upgrage, iTunes will no longer perform this function and instead reads "An error occured while converting the file "". An unknown error occured (-50)"
How can I fix this problem?

I have some purchased songs which will no longer play. I have tryed deauthenticate computer then authenticate comput. upgrade to v9.0.3 if itunes. have tried deleting the hidden folder/files under all users etc..None of these actions have workedamd despite several attempts to get some more suggestions via support, just keep being given the same information. What else can I try please? Notice a few people are getting similar issues lately is there a general problem?

What is the differnce between Blue,Purple and Orange Audio Tracks. Can you convert either to Green Midi Track?

What is the differnce between Blue,Purple and Orange Audio Tracks. Can you convert either to Green Midi Track?

Are you asking about Garageband? Your signature also mentions Logic, but I have never worked with that.
Concerning Garageband:
Real Instrument regions from your recordings are purple.
Real Instrument regions from Apple Loops are blue.
Regions from imported audio files are orange.
Software Instrument regions from recordings, loops, and imported MIDI files are green.
So far as I know you can convert software instrument loops to real instrument loops, but not real instrument loops to software instrument loops.

Converting multiple tracks into one

After recording a short "podcast" audio clip, I realized that every time I paused it and then picked up where I left off, it created a new track.
And then, when I saved the file and converted it into MP3 format, it saved each track as its own MP3 file...
This is frustrating because I want it to play seamlessly through a website as ONE mp3...
Can someone explain to me how I can convert 5 "Tracks" in garageband to just ONE track? Thank you!!

Sorry for skipping details.. I saved the file in GarageBand, and then converted it using iTunes... iTunes saved it as 5 separate tracks.
I want the one garageband file that has all the "tracks" converted into ONE track so that iTunes recognizes it as one file, not several.

How do I convert a Track Stack into a Take Folder in Logic Pro X?

How do I convert a Track Stack into a Take Folder in Logic Pro X?
I mistakenly took 13 takes and put it in a Track Stack instead of a Take Folder. I'm afraid to lose the takes and I'm wondering how to convert this into a Take Folder so I can do a comp?
Thanks,
Marcel

Here is what you do:
Create a new Track and record something in Cycle Mode (Take Folder Record Mode enabled if you record MIDI) so it creates a Take Folder
Now select all the 13 Regions across the 13 Tracks and drag them onto the Take Folder.
The Regions have to be in the time range of the Take Folder (overlap at least one bar)
All the 13 Regions are now merged into a individual Regions of the Take Folder
Hope that helps

No output from recorded audio tracks, only midi tracks..please help

I've been working on a song in Garageband and suddenly lost audio from real instruments and can only hear the midi from last night until today. It consists of 3 midi tracks and 9 audio tracks. I have software plugins or FX on almost all 9 tracks with amplitube or similar. Things are slow as the arrow is red at the top, however last night I was able to still make changes - slowly. I was able to do a mixdown and export to mp3. Then I shut the computer down. Today I open up Garageband and can only hear the midi tracks of my song however other songs I have work totally fine. Nothing is muted and I've checked everything. Levels meters are moving on all the tracks, I can just feintly hear one guitar track. This is frustrating. I even tried locking half of the tracks and still nothing. I've rebooted etc and same
I'm running Lion with a TC Konnekt 8 sound module, on a 2.4 core duo 2 MBP with 4 GB of ram

I ran onyx and did a clean up etc then rebooted, loaded GB and same problems. I turned on the ducking thing, everything looked ok and then once I hit play everything worked again. I've turned off ducking and it still works. Could this be a glitch as I've never enabled it before

How do I bounce audio and midi tracks at the same time to burn a CD?

Hi there,
I would like to bounce a song with both audio and midi tracks recorded in it onto a CD.
Despite ensuring that I am doing a realtime bounce (not offline) I am only getting the audio tracks burnt onto the CD - the midi isn't getting bounced to the final output.
This must be a stupid question, if someone would be so kind as to give me an obvious answer I would be most grateful.
Thankin y'all
amata

Hi A,
if you use the instrument (with logic virtual synths) tracks for midi,
it will.
BTW, why don't you do it offline?
It will be so much faster.
Kindly regards,
Jorge

How do i convert multiple tracks into one large mp3?

how do i convert multiple tracks into one large mp3?

Hi,
You can use an app such as Audacity or Join Together to create one larger file. If AAC file used instead of mp3, you could use GarageBand.
If you have the original CD, you can join the tracks whilst re importing disc.

No audio generated from MIDI tracks, though Stereo track is armed

I know that I need to make a stereo track before exporting my MIDI patches as an audio file. However, when I tried to record the audio track (and yes, it's armed), there are no sound waves generated from the instrument patches.
I'm connecting an external MIDI synth (USB to host device) and am also using 1/4 in. audio output cables on the synth, with the 1/8 in. jack connected to my MacBook Pro's microphone plug.
Here's more info:
Software: Logic X Pro
Synth: Yamaha MO8
The Yamaha MO8 is recognized on the Audio MIDI Setup.

I'm also hearing the click track echoing on every beat. And that's all the stereo audio track will record. How do I stop it, so that the stereo audio track will record my MIDI tracks?

Audio recording on a MIDI track???

I have a midi drum track (software instrument track, Ultrabeat). I'm not sure how I did it, but apparently I recorded some audio on it as well, I probably recorded an audio track and had this track record enabled - still it's weird that to me to have audio contents in a midi track.
There is no audio region that shows up in the arrange mode.
How do I get rid of it?
Thanks.

I'm not sure what you mean by that,
maybe you have the Ultrabeat's sequencer on and when you press play in Logic the sequence you created in UB starts playing before the MIDI Region you have in the Arrange and that's confusing somehow.
It happens
I'll check your screenshot when you upload it later on
