I have backing track software called chordpulse. I compose melodies with this and quite like the sounds it produces. I cannot import these files directly into my Magix 13 Premium as they are originally cps files but I can use the chordpulse option of saving them as midi files.
Even then I can only import them via Reaper. This is successful and the chordpulse tracks are imported into Magix and I can obtain the sound I want. The problem is that I then cannot export the tracks to a CD or Windows media player format. I believe its because the Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth is treated by Magix as an external synth.
I can make it work by giving every track a vst instrument but the sound is then completely changed from the one I want. How can I get the chordpulse midi tracks to be able to work with all the Magix export options.
Can I change/add a diferent soundcard to my laptop to be able to do the above or is there something I'm not doing correctly to solve the problem? I'm using a Dell D600 laptop operating on XP Professional.
1- a software which is able to record a sound played by your computer : MMM, Audacity etc... The concern is due to your soundcard. Your sound card must be able to assign the sound of Chordpulse to a "recording port". In some basic sound chipset this input is called "What you hear" (translation from French). In MMM you have to select this recording input.
2- You start first the recording software and press the record button and after Chordpulse. If you are in MMM you get directly a Wav file. If you use for instance AUdacity, you export the file as a Wav file and import it on a track in MMM.
It does seem to be that the soundcard on my laptop cannot assign my data to a 'recording port'. In my MMM in the programme settings there is nothing I can select in the MIDI input selection, only the output as GS Wavetable Synth is available in the MMM Audio/MIDI.
I would quite happily invest in an external soundcard if that is the solution to my problem. Do you recommend any particular card and what kind of price do I need to spend on one? I have looked at various cards on the web that seem to range from 30 to 180. Is it a case of you get what you pay for with the price diferential?
