MessageSpeaking of MIDI. When I use the Motif as an interace, I get the sound of the metranome click, but when I try to play the recording back there is nothing there. Do you have any suggestions? Is there anything I need to do to the Motif so it communicates with Sonar? I still don't know how to get the XS instrument definitions into Sonar.

Like I said, you can record in MIDI and then create audio tracks when you've finished tweaking all your MIDI parts. Good luck, Kevin -----Original Message----- From: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Karen Burke Sent: Sunday, June 29, 2008 4:56 PM To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] Re: Burning an audio CD. So far I"m recording in audio using the synth options on the motif for my instruments. So far I have guitar and bass. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin Gibbs To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, June 29, 2008 5:45 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: Burning an audio CD. You are correct. You need audio to make a CD. However, if you're using MIDI synths, you can edit your notes more easily in MIDI than you can in audio, at least initially. What instruments are you playing? -----Original Message----- From: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Karen Burke Sent: Sunday, June 29, 2008 4:26 PM To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] Re: Burning an audio CD. Hi there!! I'm not there yet but I hope to be there within the next couple of hours. I am recording all my tracks in the audio format. I was also wondering, what is the advantage to recording in Midi format versus audio? Doesn't the finished product eventually have to be converted into an audio file at the very end anyways? Thanks. Sorry for all the questions. Karen ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin Gibbs To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, June 29, 2008 4:46 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: Burning an audio CD. First, you have to make sure you've made an audio file of the project. The file has to be a 16 bit 44.1Khz file before it can be burned. Have yougotten that far? If not, you'll have to convert your MIDI to audio. The process for doing that varies depending on whether you used hardware or software synths or a combination of both. Let us know where you are in your project and someone will fill in the gaps.

I was wondering can somebody tell me how you would burn a CD of a file produced in Sonar 7? I feel like an idiot for asking, but I am totally stuck. Thanks. Karen
