Should I convert my MIDI to audio?
Yes, you should. Converting your MIDI to audio before mixing will help your DAW run smoothly, freeing up the CPU, and also keep things more manageable for when you start mixing.
Does MIDI send audio data?
MIDI itself makes no sound. Instead, the actual note number, note length and note velocity is sent to the MIDI-equipped instrument via a specified MIDI channel. MIDI information can be sent as both notes and data. It can also be used to control the patch or program number of any MIDI-equipped device.
What’s the difference between MIDI and audio?
An audio signal is recorded on an audio track of a digital audio workstation software. A MIDI signal is normally generated by a keyboard, and it contains information about which keys are being pressed. So the MIDI signal doesn’t sound like a violin or a trumpet, it is merely a list of which keys were pressed and when.

All you need to do is bounce the MIDI track to audio. First select the MIDI track so that all it’s regions are highlighted (or just highlight a single region if that’s all you want to bounce to audio) – press ‘S’ on your computer keyboard to solo the track. Then press the bounce button just below the fader on the Output channel strip of the mixer.
How do you record audio from your external synths?
To record the audio from my external synths I patch the cables from the output of my external mixer directly into the audio-in at the back of my computer (a G5) – so that I’m not actually going through the Ultralite. I set up Peak so that it receives audio-in from ‘built-in’ rather than the Ultralite.
