Volume automation on MIDI tracks

Post by TAERSH »

Hi.

For some years now I'm using Qtractor, though some short time ago I discovered it can't export the Volume Automation on MIDI tracks (when I'm doing Song export to stereo audio tracks). This works when the track is just played in Qtractor, though when exporting the MIDI track it doesn't work. This is annoying and it seems to force me to switch to another Audio-MIDI-Sequencer.

Anyone out there who knows a good sequencer program that will have a working Volume Automation on MIDI tracks - even on exporting MIDI tracks to stereo audio?

Thanks in advance...

I could be wrong but I'd guess that you're automating qTractor's track volume and not the volume of the plugin loaded on the MIDI track?

Yes.

Since it's there and works on playback, I just don't understand why it doesn't work on export. That's just CRAP!

yeah it's even crappier than CRAP (the completely ridiculous anthropic principle) :D

though there's always a workaround
cheers

[UPDATE] a now it seems it's solved, thanks

I simply don't understand that workaround.

Confirmed. It's working now!

That's just: AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING! :D

I think this will make me keep using Qtractor. Also, this is the time I would like to donate some money.
But I don't use Paypal etc.pp.
So, could you please give me a number of a bank account to transfer some money?

Thanks a lot! :D
