"So, if you want to record audio from your synth into mp3, you really need a harddisk-recording-card to record the SOUND from the synth."

Hi stigF!
sorry for disturbing the conversation but...
I think we can put the Xp playing and recording it directly into a WAV file on the PC. A track each time and then mix or edit all the wav tracks. Then convert the arrangement into AUDIO and mp3. Can I do that?

"General MIDI (GM) is possible of course, but very very weak compared to what the XP can do. It has to use one of only pre-defined 128 sounds...."

That is my problem, also.

Hi Daniela:

I'm not sure if I understood your question, but I'll try:

If you record the sound from the XP as wav into your computer, then you must remember that what you have recorded IS already audio and needs no further conversion. This means that you cannot, as you can in MIDI, change a note you dit not play correctly etc.

The recording process you describe here, is a recording of the audio-signal, and not of MIDI. When you have the audio-tracks, you can probably mix them if you recorded them into a multitrack software like Logic Audio.

My point is, that this is rapidly getting more complicated than the simple MIDI-mp3-convertor described earlier here.
