how to bounce midi to audio?
hello,
there is an option in audio menu "bounce to track". If I select a midi track and an audio track and apply this option, Muse only records other wave files into the target tracker, but not the midi.
What can I do?

I regularly use Bounce to file, it records everything going OUT of MusE, including softsynths controlled by midi.
Does this work on your system?

Re: how to bounce midi to audio?
To fill in some more details, as the menu suggests, this option is for audio so if you want a midi track to be affected it is the resulting audio from the midi that will be bounced, e.g. the output from a soft synth.
If you are using external midi devices (external software or actual external hardware) you need to route their output into MusE before you can bounce.
If you have gotten past this, then it is as oscillator described; Bouce to track or file will record what goes to the main output from MusE. So if you want to bounce just a specific track, you should click solo on this track so it is the only thing making sound. If you want, you can solo several tracks if there are more than one track you want to end up in the bounce.

Re: how to bounce midi to audio?
it's working fine, thank you. I've redirected a soft drumsynth into an audio track.
My mistake was I was hearing some drums, and I supposed it was some sort of built-in drum coming from Muse, but it was just from the master keyboard I was using, I forgot to mute it! When I've bounced i couldn't hear the drums!

Re: how to bounce midi to audio?
I tried to bounce a soft synth to a track and this does not work! Only wave tracks can be bounced to a wave track. To "bounce" a part of a synth track to a wave track, you have to
- create the wave track
- set its audio input to the synth's output
- put track in record mode
- playback the desired section (punch-in punch-out)
That's inconvenient, but at least it is possible and the result is perfect and includes the effects.

Re: how to bounce midi to audio?
Hmmm, that's wierd. Tried it now and it works here. Tested both an LV2 and a VST synth to be sure.dailybug2 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 5:12 pm I tried to bounce a soft synth to a track and this does not work!

Thanx for the info, once again I did something wrong. Muted MIDI track perhaps? This would be too stupid. Wasn't there the message "must select at least one wave track"?
I will try again.

Re: how to bounce midi to audio?
No worries Talking about things are the best way to resolve how it works (not the least since documentation is somewhat lacking, though getting better!). And bouncing specifically involves several steps so it's not exactly straightforward.
I have been wanting to work on a 'freeze' feature where there is more or less one click to do the same, and without requiring additional tracks. We'll see...
