OT: Attention Computer Gurus Help!.. Midi to Wav....

Ok… My eyes are blurring. I have been searching the whole afternoon for info.

I need to convert midi to wav so that I can burn it off on CD.

I have downloaded the demo midi2wav from midi2wave.com.

So far it appears that you record from the mic and it sounds pretty bad once recorded.
And the demo only gives ya 10 seconds of recording.



Any suggestions?

Laura, pick up a cheap copy of Cakewalk from eBay or somewhere, don’t spend more than $20, but it will give you the ability to convert midi to wav, plus you can record multitrack audio and midi for some great backing tracks. I make instrumental tracks for singers in my church using Cakewalk.

Thanks Scott,

Any cakewalk program will do it?
Could you be more specific.

I have been considering the program.
Just was wondering which one to choose from.
Or should I write which of the cheapest.

There are some simple converter programs available on the internet if you don’t want something that does everything a studio recording engineer would need. I have Acoustica Mp3 to Wave Converter that I got I believe as shareware or freeware. It converts back and forth between Mp3 and wav. But, why do you need to convert? If you are burning cds, Adaptec Easy CD creator or even Music Match Jukebox that comes with many new pcs excludes this conversion problem. I need to convert from mp3 to wav because I use a program that slows music down without changing pitch, called Transkriber. If I record from cd to my harddrive (using Music Match), I have the option of my file format, but if I save an mp3 off the internet, or if someone email attaches an mp3 to me, I use my converter.

A little off topic, but watch out that when you have lots of mp3 players on your pc, like winamp, realplayer, music match, windows media player, etc. that they fight each other for dominion!

I have been using Simple MP3 maker. It’s real easy to use and converts from/to all the popular music formats (MP3, WAV, MIDI). Use Google and search for Simple MP3. It’s free too.
