midi files

is there any way to get audacity to play midi files? or something that i can change the midi file into an mp3 file?

On a Mac you can drag a midi file into Garage band and actually edit all of the midi tracks then export it as an mp3. Do you have a Mac by chance?

I use cubase and you can select a track and do a export with a "mixdown" and only select the midi track. then you can export to mp3, wave or what ever you want.

cubase, is that free? where can i get it?

if i cant find a program to suit my needs i need to learn how to play drums, cello, and violin. then find out how to record them

Cubase is Music production and sequencer program used by many recording companies also.

Its not free.

yikes 500 dollars

audacity is SUPPOSED to be able to support midi files, but it doesnt, even though they say it does.

yeah, im definitely bumping a mac with logic express here.

i think i got it, i was saving it as the wrong file type, boy im dumb, ill see if it works later, i have several different programs like it on my pc i think

i found a program that will change the midi into mp3. unfortunatly its 1 30 day trial, anyone know where i can get one that isnt just a trial for free?

MusicMatch Jukebox, you can convert near enough any sound file into another. Though the new verson sucks, so try and get one of the older versons if you can.

Or if you really can't be bothered to download or buy, play the Midi file on window media player, then record the sound in audacity. Piece of cake.

sweet

Yummy.....cake!

now i just need to find out how to record my guitar wihout it sounding like crap
