There are many ways, but you have to be a little bit more specific...
What kind of software do you have installed and what kind of hardware are you using for sound generation? If everything's done on your pc, and you don't have a dedicated music software, then change the settings in your audio setup window so that the midi synthesizer is 'checked' for recording (instead of the 'mic' or 'line in'). Then use a wave editor (or the windows sound recorder) and record while media player is playing your midi file! After that, burn the audio file on a cd.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply. Can you recommend software for that? I transferred a midi file from my Yamaha keyboard and want to burn a CD on my computer with an audio file. How do I change settings for my audio setup window? Thanks a lot. |

You put the midi file into a synth (or into a real musician) and music is played. You record that music on a CD. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

oups.com Is there a way to convert a midi file to an audio file that I can play on CD player which does not support mp3 files? If there is some way of recording the output of the playback side of your PCs sound card with the record side of your sound card, either with software controls or an actual jumper from the output a line input, then you just play your MIDI file while recording it as a standard .wav file. Built-in faculties for recording the output of the playback side of your sound card have various names like "what you hear" or "stereo mix" in your sound card's record mixer. |

Gotcha! So you have an external device (your Yamaha keyboard)!
You have to understand that MIDI is NOT SOUND. A MIDI file contains information that when 'read' by a synthesizer (in your case, your Yamaha keyboard) 'tells' that synthesizer 'what' to play and 'how' to play it. If you play the MIDI file that you saved from your keyboard on your computer (in other words, load the diskette, and open the file with windows media player) then you are not going to hear what you did when your Yamaha keyboard was playing the sequence. WHY? Because a different synthesizer (the one on your soundcard) will be playing the file. If you don't mind the change of 'quality' then follow my previous (and of course all of the other) advice. If you want to record what your Yamaha synth is playing, then you have to connect the sound output of the keyboard to the line-in of your soundcard and record it with a wave-editor. Windows comes with a native one (sound recorder) and frequently, if you have a separate soundcard that is not integrated on the mother-board (maybe a sound blaster?) then you might have a 'sound-recording' software as well. Sometimes, even CD burning applications come bundled with cut-down versions of wave-editors (like Nero) that are more than enough for what you want to do.

QuickTime Pro will save a MIDI file as audio, using its synthesizer. |

Hi,
I've got an Adobe audition, put my midi file to the first track and mapped it but don't know how to record it, when I try to export it into a .wav file it does not show the track with the midi file in it.

oups.com... Hi, I've got an Adobe audition, put my midi file to the first track and mapped it but don't know how to record it, when I try to export it into a .wav file it does not show the track with the midi file in it. You have to record the MIDI onto an audio track first then export that audio track. Here's a good post from Cakewalk about it but the principle is the same regardless of the softwa http://www.cakewalk.com/tips/techtipaugust.asp http://www.cakewalk.com/support/lessons/burningcds.asp |
