How do you get an whole > session into an audio file? midi is meant to be rendered by a sound generator module, a synth, a sampler, a stand-alone or an instrument plugin (dssi, vsti or lv2); you can drive external midi outboard equipment as well, which in fact was and still is the primordial goal of a midi sequencer like qtractor. qtractor does not include/integrate any midi sound generator per se, so you cannot render midi tracks directly to audio files. but you can record/bound the sound modules output back into qtractor, ardour or any other jack enabled hard-disk recorder if you prefer. qtractor exports audio tracks as audio files; similarly it exports midi tracks as standard midi files, nothing else ;) > > * Why are there no new audio tracks showing up in Jack when you add > a new audio track, like ardour has? Wouldn't this make it more > easy to use it with other apps (for example ardour)? qtractor is not ardour (tm) -- internal signal flow models are not the same, not even close ;) re. qtractor, each "input bus" feeds a track on recording; each track feeds an "output bus" for mixdown/merging on playback; it is these "bus" devices that are exposed as jack audio ports or alsa-seq ports (midi) from or to the outside world. again, buses in qtractor are not the same as buses in ardour. in qtractor, buses are what you ever see in the jack graph. you never see tracks ;) > > So far so good... all though apps like non-sequencer and epichord have a > point when they talk about the disadvantages in workflow if you have to > open a new windows to edit midi imho... you'll have to open something haven't you? qtractor lets you edit midi clips as if you were editing a midi file in a stand-alone window; if you look closer you can have one of these windows open for each and every midi clip you have in session. cheers -- rncbc aka Rui Nuno Capela rncbc@xxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
