But even if I send the text file, he doesnt have sonar or anything installed to change it back to the original sounds or fix it.......Unles I'm just missing something

But even if I send the file there as a general midi format, he doesnt have sonar or anything installed to change it back to the original sounds or fix it.......Unles I'm just missing something

I have a problem with saving my projects as .mid files. When I try to save my MIDI files as .mid files as opposed to cwp or cwb files, it results in all the instruments changing to General Midi instruments. What can I do to fix this problem?

Thanks for the replies. I am going to look for some drum kits i can download first. I was also looking at a drum machine but my music teacher from my old middle school has one and I tested it out. I cant really play the drums so it was kinda hard but nothing a simple quantize couldn't fix. Anyway, t...

oops...seems I figured it out...that was pretty simple...if anyone has the same problem by any chance just ask me and I'll be happy to explain it to you.

In Sonar 2.0XL, I converted one of my MIDI songs to audio. I've just started working with audio so Im kinda new to this and this is what I did. I converted all the tracks at once to one audio track. I did, however leave out one, because this one has pan effects added to it and I wanted to see what w...

Thanks for the reply. I've really just started working in a little more depth with audio....atleast MIDI to audio, so I have to get used to everything and understand it a little more. Ill try different methods and try what you suggested also and see what happens. Thanks again.

I'm using Midi drums in one of my songs and sometimes I will pan the drums all the way to the right or left. When I convert my MIDI trakcs to audio all at once, the panned drums are either loud and dont pan or are very soft. WHy is the pan not working?

Thanks for the help...I'll probably download the patches and see what happens.. Thanks again.

I just got a dell and loaded with XP Home and went through a terrible ecperience. Nothing seemed to work so I am shipping it back and am looking at new computers from Alienware. I was told that XP Pro is much more stable than XP Home. Besides that I need to know about some compatibility issues. I am...

Wow, thx for all the help....Not sure what the hell I'd be doin without you....anyway, Im gonna get that plug and try what you said but first I gotta fix some stuff on my comp. One of my hardware pieces is not working with Windows XP and I am in the process of figuring out which one it is. Thanks ag...

Okay, thx for the replies and all the help. Ill look into getting a mixer but I would like to avoid buying any new hardware. I'll look in the manual on how to plug the keyboard into the mic....thx again

Im guessing that I need a special plug that goes from my keyboard to the mic on my computer? I can probably find one witht he right connection thingys over at Radioshack so i'll try that. If I have no other choice ill look into one of those cheap mixers and see if that works. I'd rally rather not ge...

I will let you know what happens when I plug in my keyboard tot he mic slot but before that, if I were to mbuy a micer liek you said, how would I set it up with my other instruments? (A Roland RS-5, a Midiman 2x2, and a Edirol PCR-50. Also, I have an SB Audigy 2 soundcard) How much does a cheap mixe...

I know I've been posting a lot of topics but I'lll get rid of older ones...Anyway, I finally got everything working okay. I did find a problem though. When I try to convert my MIDI to audio I only get good levels for audio when I choose the sundcard in my computer as my output and for some reason, w...
