Jane,
There may be a software package capable of
performing your desired operation in one step - if so I'd love to hear about
it. Lacking the elegant solution, I make MP3 recordings of my MIDI files
using a brute force approach of "playing" the files through my sound system and
simultaneously "recording" the resulting signal via Line In recording.
First check to see that your sound card has a "Line
In" connector -- if not you'll need to replace it with one that does.
Second, you need software that can record a Line In signal, hopefully directly
to MP3 format. (I use the Sound Recorder program from PolderbitS for this
step, although there are many programs available with this capability.)
Once you've got the connection and software set up, you simply need to start the
Line In recorder and play your files in Cakewalk. When finished, stop the
recorder and save the file as .mp3. Voila!
As I said, it's not elegant but it
works.
Jerry

Hi Everyone
I wonder if any of you can help me. Here's what I want to do. - I
want to be able to record my piano exam pieces on my MarkIII DKV to
floppy disc. Then put the disc in my computer and convert the files
to mp3 and download them to my player. Unfortunately my player does
not allow me to download midi files to it. The first part of this
poses no problem, but converting midi to mp3 does. I have Cakewalk
Home Studio on my PC. If anyone could throw any light on this I
would be most grateful.
