Convert MIDI to audio in Ableton Live - 2 ways

Today I will be showing you how to convert a MIDI track in to an audio file in Ableton Live. This is great for saving CPU to prevent glitches and dropouts, and it also allows you to share project files between computers that don't have the same plugins. This also works very well for creating stems to export for a remix in Ableton Live.

    You can also drag frozen track into a new audio track with alt/option key to have both: audio track and frozen one for editing.

    When using a drum rack is it possible to generat individual audio tracks for each kit component? i.e. one wav for the kick, one for the snare, one for the hi-hat, etc.

  • @asylumgoingcrazy

    should your arrangement be done before converting midi to audio? I've been trying to turn my 4-8 bar loops into audio and I always have a tale on the audio clip. When I remove it theres obviously popping that can only be solved with a cross fade which then means I have to cross fade every clip together as I arrange. Someone help me out here I have to be doing something wrong haha.

    Now I import midi files with multiple tracks into Ableton and the midi files are 'played' over an external synth. So e.g. on midi channel 1 strings, channel 2 trumpet and so on. I understand that I can make an audio file from the midi. But how does it work, because Ableton does not have the sounds (they are on an external machine).

    You can’t use command+z to undo the the conversation of the MIDI track to and audio track? I convert the MIDI track to an audio track using the second method.

  • @jakobmurray3115

    Is resampling the audio done through the computers audio interface? If so, is the audio going to be worse than the actual midi channel and would it be better to use loopback with an external audio interface?

    Are these the most intuitive ways? They both have flaws - with freezing and flattening the problem is, what if i want to keep the midi track as well as the new audio file? and the resampling, surely thats a bit long.. what if you want to convert a whole tracks worth of midi data? Theres a lot i dont like about logic but it has a bounce in place function which does this in a few clicks and a few seconds.
