Okay now that we have our drum track, okay I'm going to show you how to transfer our
MIDI data to audio data, okay? Because all we have now is just MIDI notes, even though
we hear them as sound, the computer still hasn't recognized them as audio information
yet. So before we can press on we have to change our drum beats to audio before we can
record any more other instruments into our MIDI track. By doing that, I'll go up to my
project window and I'll click add track and what we want now is an audio track. Click
audio, okay for drum tracks they're usually mono, you don't need stereo, it's mono and
stereo. Drum tracks don't need to be stereo. Most drum tracks are just on a mono, mono
signal, so we'll select mono and click okay. Now you should have a audio track that appeared.
Okay? And what we'll do is highlight your MIDI track and highlight the track, the data
track that you, you recorded. And after you do that, you'll solo your MIDI track which
should be represented by an S. You're going to also solo your audio track. Now before
you record make sure your audio track is the one that's highlighted and not your MIDI track.
Okay? As soon as you do that, arm your record button and you see how it's recording the
audio information. You'll see in the waves up here, these are sound waves and thus the,
the signals being transferred to, from MIDI data to an audio signal. Okay? Then you click
stop once that ended and you can just solo your audio track so, and listen back to it,
make sure everything is correct. Okay? Everything is aligned correct. Next after you do that
you can go ahead and I just erase, or delete that old, the data, since we have our audio
signal now, I can use my MIDI track for another instrument and we still have our, our drum
track right there. Okay?
