Converting midi files to wav format for burning CD

I've searched for a good mac application that will allow me to convert midi files (saved from my clavinova 170) to a floppy, to wav format so that I can burn a standard audio CD. Can someone help me out?

This is a bit complicated, conceptually.
You see, MIDI files do not contain sound or audio.
MIDI files are kind of like sheet music. They contain instructions that a synthesizer or sampler can use to play music. But MIDI files don't contain the sound itself.
Open up a blank GarageBand document, and drag your MIDI file into the window. GarageBand will attempt to select sounds for all the musical instrument tracks in your MIDI file. You can then save the file, do any necessary editing, and export the GarageBand file as an AIFF file, which you can transfer to iTunes for burning to a CD.

  • How to convert .avi files to .mov format for use in FCE ?

    Hi guys,
    I need to import an avi file into FCE. How do I convert it to mov format ?
    Thanks

    i am in the same boat. i have a canon G9 and automatically downloaded to iphoto without thinking. the videos i extracted seem to be .avi. what do i have to do to edit them in FCE4? i tried to convert them with prism, the video is messed up. i tried to put them into imovie instead, it won't let me do any effects on them. it's so confusing bc it lets the videos load in, or so i thought, but then it won't let me do anything to them? what do i do?

  • 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.

  • What is the best software for converting video files to .ogg format?

    In trying to html5 compliant I want to convert my video files to the .ogg format. After a lot of searching for video converters, I cannot find one that does this; although several claim to but actually don't. Converting audio isn't so much of a problem. So, can you suggest a tool for converting video files to .ogg format?

  • Converting an MP3 to WAV -- How can I convert an MP3 to wav format, 16 bit

    How can I convert an MP3 to wav format, 16 bit, 44,1 khz? I like the program Switch which I know can convert MP3s, but how to I set it up for the specific settings that I need?

    Just import into a logic session. Then bounce at the specs you require. Logic or Waveburner, iTunes and even Quicktime I think can each do this easily.
    A question though. I am assuming you are converting an MP3 to 44.1/16 bit just so you can play the file in a consumer quality CD player?? IF so - that makes sense.
    But if you are doing this because you think it will improve the sound quality of your MP3, I will save you some time here. It won't improve the sound quality at all. It will just turn the MP3 into a larger audio file.
    44.1/16 bit resolution enables you to have a much better sounding file than MP3 formats, but not by going at it this way.
    No offense to you if you know all of this already. I am assuming that you may not know this - because if you did you would also likely know how to convert an audio file.
    Cheers

  • Unknown error -50 converting midi file

    I'm trying to convert some midi files I made to mp3's so I can burn them to a disk. When I select "convert to mp3" from the Advanced menu I get an "unknown error (-50)" message. I've tried this on my iMac and on a Win2K laptop with the same results. I've successfully converted midi files in the past, so I'm not sure what's wrong now. I have iTunes 6 on both machines. My iMac is running the latest update of Mac OSX version 3. Any ideas what this error code means, or how to get around it?

    Nope. For example the album where tracks 11 & 12 wouldn't convert: track 11 is titled "The End Has No End". All other details (artist, album, genre, artwork, etc) are identical to tracks 1-12 & track 13. Yet track 11 wouldn't convert, throwing up the error message when the progress bar was about 25% of the way up, but tracks 1-10 and track 13 convert fine
    Which leads me to another point that makes me think it can't be what you suggested - namely that track 11 fails about 25% of the way up the progress bar, yet track 12 fails AS SOON as I choose "Convert to AAC". If the problem was related to file name characters or whatever you'd expect both of them to fail at the same point, presuming iTunes writes name/tag information at the same point for every file (start or end I'd presume).
    Thanks anyway. Anyone else got any ideas?

    thanks

    YOGenereally, you shouldn't convert from a lossy format AAC or MP3) to another lossy fomrat.
    It's called loss because you lose information when you convert it.
    If you only use these files on the computer and the iPod, I'd recommend AAC. Better quality at same bit rate as MP3.

  • Convert REM Files to MP3 Format?

    I have downloaded several songs via the Amazon MP3 application on my Blackberry Curve 9300.  Little did I know that the songs were downloaded as rem files and not mp3 format?  I cannot upload the files to my desktop or laptop computers nor my Kindle. 
    Amazon said since I downloaded most of the songs over 3 months ago, they cannot move them over to my Cloud Player.  How do I convert rem file to mp3 format?  I do not want to have to purchase these songs again.

    That process above won't work. Waste of time.
    Your files were downloaded as MP3 files, but you have content encryption placed on your Media Card, and then the REM extension is added to the filename, because you have protected those files.
    You must turn off the encryption first, and then you can copy the files and they will be usable.

  • I've imported a giant cd collection for my work in wav format for the best quality audio using iTunes version 11.1.1.  I need to transfer this library to our Music workstation using iTunes 11.0.1.  That workstation version of iTunes can't be upgraded for

    I've imported a giant cd collection for my boss in wav format for the best quality audio using iTunes version 11.1.1.  I need to transfer this library to our Music workstation using iTunes 11.0.1.  That workstation version of iTunes can't be upgraded for compatability reasons with other software using iTunes.  When I try to transfer the library I lose all of the CD metadata and end up with only track names.  Is there a way to transfer everything along with the metadata?

    Not easily.  WAV format does not store tag information in the file.  Realize both AIFF (equivalent to WAV) and Apple Lossless (full quality but smaller files) do, so WAV was unfortunately the worst format to chose.
    If you have to go with what you have you will have to explore exporting the library as .xml, moving it and the files to the other computer, then rebuilding a lower version library with the two sets.  I am not sure if you can do it with the library.xml file that already exists or if it too differs according to version.  You may end up having to export the files as a playlist.  You will, of course, lose artwork too, though you can try fetching it from the iTunes Store later.
    Some of what you need to do is outlined in these articles though you have the added limitation that you are not building a library of the same version.  (It really is a piity you choose WAV, otherwise you could have simply added the ripped files and most of the data would have traveled with them.)

  • Convert gzip files into XML format

    We have a requirement where we receive gzip files. These files are zipped file containing base64 binary format csv files. We would have to convert these files into XML format. Please let me know any of the following.
    1. Is there any Xpath query or XSL function (somthing similar like doTranslateFromNative() ) to convert from gzip files to XML format.
    2. If we need to unzip the zipfile outside fusion, then java code piece to unzip the gzip file. I guess after that we can use the usual doTranslateFromNative() function to translate to XML format, since after unzipping the gzip file, they are base64 binary formats.
    Thanks in advance,
    Toms

    There is an option to do pre-processing and post processing of Files when using File adapter. You need to create a valve which will first do pre processing and send the output to FileAdapter.
    You can get more information here:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/integration.1111/e10231/adptr_file.htm#CACDHGGG
    under section: 4.2.14 Pre-Processing and Post-Processing of Files
    Essentially you will use Java to unzip the file first and then the unzipped content will be passed to the adapter.
