Render VSTi MIDI clip to an Audio clip

Post by EnjoyRC » Fri Apr 15, 2011 10:14 pm

What is the best way to render a MIDI clip w/VST in Session View to an Audio clip?

I have a simple 2 bar MIDI clip that is playing a VST that is hosted in that same track. I'd like to render that to an Audio clip. Ultimately I could delete the MIDI track and the VST.

just route the midi track to a audio track:

command + T (creates the audio track)

goto the audio from drop down and select the midi track

select Monitor In

arm the track by hitting the bottom button in the strip (its under the solo button)

hit record in the top and hit play on the midi clip...done

dont you have the manual?

Freeze the track. It will become blue. Drag the clip to an audio track. It will be a waveform instead of MIDI.

That sounds so simple! I'm gonna try it.

That's it!!!! Freeze.. copy clip. Paste into the audio track. So simple. A caveman could do it. :lol:

I thought freezing and dragging didn't pick up automation
