OK, a little groundwork first. The one thing MIDI isn't is anything to do with sound! Sounds like a bold statement but I want to make that clear just in case.
MIDI controls things like external synths and VST plug-ins which are what make the sounds.
So, in order to convert MIDI to audio you need something to play the MIDI file. Logic of course has plenty of great built-in synths which you can use if you don't have external hardware.
Simply associate a Logic synth with each MIDI channel and then conduct a 'Bounce'. The resulting file is a recording of the synth sounds your MIDI file was controlling.
I apologise if that lot sounds a bit patronising but I have no idea what level you are at. Either way I hope it helps.

Turning off Midi Channel on an audio track-possible?

I do not want to receive any midi data (it is causing the track to mute) from my Moog Little Phatty on the corresponding audio track I am recording to in Logic. I do not want to filter this midi message out as I'd still like to be able to record that information on the corresponding midi track.
I know if I deselect the audio track it will no longer respond to midi messages being sent from the Moog. What I'd really like however is to stop Logic from muting a selected track whenever cc# 9 is transmitted.
Is this possible?

And, just curious... if you're recording the MIDI info anyhow, why not just record the MIDI track, and then export it to an audio file?
I like to capture the live performance of my external synths on an audio track. I record the midi information more as a back up/reference in case I want to tweak it later.
And I totally understand that. I guess I suggested it, as work around in the meantime.
Recording the MIDI, and then bouncing as audio, won't undermine the integrity of that approach, as long as you refrain from over-twaeking, BEFORE bouncing down the file!

Converting Audio files to Midi files.... anyway to do it?

I used to have Opcode Studio Vision Pro and there was an option to convert audio files, like a drum solo or just music, to a midi file so you could take a audio drum pattern and turn it into a midi file and pick your own drum sounds like a TR-909 for the drum pattern.
Is there any function like this in Logic, or perhaps a plug in that will do that? I searched the forum without any luck.
Thanks

I haven't seen anything like this, but...
For Guitar's mainly... if you plug your guitar into a good pedal which has a midi out set up, you can plug it into your mac and record by playing the guitar using midi... then you can edit it.. works same way as keyboards... I expect you can do the same with drums if you used digital, i'm not sure.
hope this helps

Can i turn an imovie project into an Mpeg file to work on a Windows System?

Hi is there a way of turning an iMovie production into a standard MPeg format to play on windows operating system???

Once i have created and imovie project i am needing to turn it into an bog standard MPeg that will play within a powerpoint presentation supported by windows media player .mov .avi etc don't work not very techy... The only way i have managed to do this so far is to create a dvd then turn it into MPeg using pinnacle on a windows system but i lose a vast amount of quality
I was saying that if you have the right software you can create MPG, MPEG (MPEG2/MPEG-1, layered audio), M2V/AIFF paired elementary stream clips, VOB (MPEG2/AC3 or MPEG2/PCM), TS MPEG-2 stream files, etc., and you would need decide on which typr of file you wanted. If you want VOB with MPEG2/PCM content, then let iDVD image a file and all you have to do is copy the VOB(s) from the image,

How to convert iTunes songs into MIDI files?

I want to copy an iTunes song and convert the copied song into a MIDI file. How do I do this?

Can't be done...
A MIDI file is a set of instuctions for making music. Play this note, then, for that long, on this particular instrument, with these settings. Multiplied by as many notes and instruments as are required. A MIDI file can be turned into music automatically. Turning music into the instructions to make it is, as far as I am aware, beyond the capabilities of current software.

Can't input MIDI file into project

Hi,
I can't input MIDI files into a garageband project. I used to do this very easily, just drag & dropping the file into a blank GB project. That was on my previous older computer, with a previous version of GB. Now I just got a brand new iMac G5 with the most up to date version of GB, and it is not working, the MIDI files just will not drop. I even tried by doing an 'open with', selected GB as the software, and got a message saying 'Garageband cannot open files in the midi audio format' !!!
What's even crazier is that a couple weeks ago I had the same problem, and ****** around with trying different things, and at some point GB did accept the files ! But now it doesn't, and I have no idea what I did different then, probably nothing much.
Any ideas ? It sure is highly frustrating (trying to stay polite here) when a brand new, expensive machine cannot do the simple things that a 5 year old one could.

Have you tried different files? Maybe one that you're sure worked on your old computer? Some midi files can be tricky.

You cannot make midi from audio with GB. You'd need a sampler.

How can i turn a photoshop file into a website with knowing code? can i upload Muse or DreamWeaver?

How can i turn a photoshop file into a website with knowing code? can i upload Muse or DreamWeaver?
I created a few images (pages for a site) on photoshop and want to turn them into HTML code for a website- Can i Just upload the file into one of these programs and make a file with the correct code imediatly?
I was reading about using EDGE Reform but i did not understand if i can create the code with it, in the end it says it still needs to be sent to website developer after?

You need to look at Dreamweaver as a code editor. You need to learn to create good, clean HTML code with style sheets to make websites with Dreamweaver.
There are tutorials that will take you from a layered .PSD file to HTML. Here's a good one:
http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/site-builds/from-psd-to-html-building-a-set-of-website-d esigns-step-by-step/
Adobe's Muse is a semi-WYSIWYG website layout creator for small websites (1-5 pages). But there is no way you can go from a .PDS file to Muse, you have to start the site in Muse.
I have seen a few Muse sites and they're OK, but there is some code that Muse creates that is kind of odd. If you want a good, clean website that will work for you or your business, Dreamweaver is the best choice. Alternatively, you could hire a pro.

Can no longer drop a MIDI file into iTunes library

Using Tiger on a G4 iMac, I could drop a MIDI file into my iTunes library and convert it to an mp3 (or other format).
Can't get this to happen now that I'm using Leopard on a new machine (see below) - or is there a different way of doing it in Leopard?
With thanks,
Gilly

Answering my own question - had iTunes set to Show Duplicates - therefore couldn't see MIDI I dropped in.

Don't drag the midi into an open Logic project. The tracks won't set up correctly.
'Open' the midi file with Logic as if it were a Logic project. Then all the tracks will be set up so you can start editing them and applying better saved sounds and instruments, but you'll be at a starting place where you can hear what's going on.

How to turn a pdf file into excel document and keep original format

I Have an excel bid form that i use all the time ,then i convert it into a PDF And once in a while i need to add something to it I paid for acrobat but when i try to turn the PDF back into an excel document the format is changed , the columns are in the wrong places And it does not look at all like the original excell form is there any thing i can do to fix this If not this will be useless to me any help appreciated

A PDF does not contain any spreadsheet, word processing or page layout file format information.
No "format", columns, rows, etc.
"When you create a PDF, you’re painting a picture. Your paintbrush is the is the result of a combination of the software used to create the source document and the software you’ve chosen to convert your source document into the universal electronic document format we all know as PDF.
Like the painter’s brushstrokes, each character, each line and each image is fundamentally independent, but they can interact with each other to produce particular visual effects. On the PDF page, objects are connected by a coordinate system and not a lot else. There’s no logical, semantic connection between the letters comprising a word; characters simply happen at a series of locations on the rendered page.
As originally designed, PDF is fundamentally a system for painting objects onto a page, plus a whole lot of other features we aren’t talking about right now! There’s no innate concept of words, sentences, paragraphs, columns, headings, images, tables, lists, footnotes – any of the semantic structures that distinguish a “document” from a meaningless heap of letters, shapes and colors. PDF is fundamentally about how the document appears on the page, not how it looks when abstracted from the page."

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.

How to import midi files into garage band for ipad

I have the newest iPad and installed Garage Band. I don't have a MAC computer, only Windows machines. I want to use the iPad to send the midi files to a Roland 150 keyboard to make it play the music. Is this even possible? The Roland has Midi In and Out ports and I have the camera adapter kit and a Yamaha UX16 USB to Midi cable.

You cannot export midi files from GarageBand, sorry. You can only share audio files in aac-format or GarageBand project files, and both are not midi. See what is currently supported: http://help.apple.com/garageband/ipad/1.2/index.html#chsec12c387

That's not extracting anything from the lines. That's just dumping the contents of the file directly into the ring. That can be accomplished by simply doing this:
