Transfering drum midis to recording software, HELP PLEASE

[Phazon Eater]

I want to use a drum midi from guitar pro to record over it on audacity. I record it as a wave, then import into audacity, and it goes in there but it doesnt play anything back

i try it as a midi, then it goes in there but again no sound

any ideas? please

[Fraggy]

have you tried playing the wave outside of audacity and making sure it works?

are you seeing a wave diagram on the drum track in audacity..

btw when recording in GP you MUST have stereomix on.

i just tried playing the wave outside of audacity, it loads the file but no audio when playing back

when loaded into audacity, no lines showing theres any audio there

(how do i make sure stereo mix is checked on)

any other suggestions?

Is there a way to import midi files in audacity?

For cubase you just separate your drum track in gpro from the rest of them and save that file. Then in cubase you import that file that contains just the drum midi track. Sorry if this was pointless :(

well i can import midis also, but again, no sound, there has to be something wrong in my settings i just dont know what

The problem must be in Guitar Pro exporting, since Audacity should work flawlessly when dropping a .wav on there. So look for that stereo mix thing, and try playing with other settings, idk.

If all else fails, you can set your computer to record it's own output (somewhere in the audio settings in Windows/if you have a Mac there's a program I can link you to/Linux I'm not sure, but it must be do-able) then set Audacity on record, then play the track on Guitar Pro. It's just like putting a mic up to your computer speakers, without so much loss in sound quality.

But that is a pain in the ***, so make sure there's nothing you can do to make Guitar Pro work normally first.

Convert it to mp3 then drop it in.

ok awesome, i convert the midi to mp3, and import into audacity, works fine, thanks!

make sure it's a high quality mp3. 320 kbps. Anything under 256 kbps and you notice loss of high and low frequencies, and a general decrease in audio quality. mp3 kind of sucks, if you're recording, .wav or .aiff is the way to go. Uncompressed CD quality audio.

Glad I could help :)
