Yes, I like having the audio tracks to work with after recording the midi. Tweaking audio files seems the easiest method for me anyway.

I never worry about the differance between audo or midi as you can treat the synth track as an audio track. And if you insert multiple outputs you have each drum part and an audio track, so it's easy to eq or add reverb to say the snare.
I think as stated, that the main benifit is the tracks can be future proofed or sent to an other studio that does not use your software.
But I always save every song as a midi file because that's where all your hard work is spent on drums. Midi will always be a global format for a long time yet. So having both is a good practice.

I also save my midi files in each song. It's always good to keep them in case you have a change you would like to add.

Yes there is a fair bit to take on board and it's difficult to recommend any specific advice because we don't know what you want out of this.
As an example, is this the final version of your drums for use in a song or do you just want a stereo wav for use elsewhere?
Are you happy with the processing you've applied or do you intend to add anything like EQ, compression, reverb etc?
Let us know the answers to these questions and we can offer more targeted advice
Hi, didn't mean to avoid your questions. I simply like to have all of my tracks transformed into audio files so I can work with EQ, Tube Compression, various audio elements. I also save and mute all of my midi tracks in the song in case I need to make serious changes. Lastly, by using my Motif and QSR, there may be sounds I want to include which do not fit into the 16 channel midi format in the Multi setups. I sometime like to add those extra sounds on the fly and by having everything in the audio format, it just works better for me. Best, Art

Thanks Art, I understand your methodology, but you have still avoided the questions I asked. As an example, is this the final version of your drums for use in a song or do you just want a stereo wav for use elsewhere?

I always turn all my MIDI to audio before the mix stage of a production. But it's a simple matter of bouncing the tracks when you're ready. You don't have to export anything.

Truth be told, I have been dealing with some cancer issues the last year. My strength and immune system is down but it's all god and I am getting better everyday. That being said, I have decided to focus on writing and recording instead of playing out. It has been a few years since I have focused on the recording aspect, so I am trying to catch up with the new ideas, etc.
The final use of the drums is for use just in this one song.
I do plan to use mastering tools via Sound Forge Pro 11. Sound Forge is where I have always mastered and having all the audio files in the song is, I believe, a necessary process for Sound Forge.
I hope this answers the questions, again any advice is always welcome.
Best,
Art

Hi Mike, for some reason, (probably because I am missing something in the settings), it just won't bounce. I have to keep playing with it, and I will find the answer, all of the groups suggestions have been quite helpful, I am just missing something in the settings I believe. Best, Art
