    I made the same mistake when I started. MIDI is just inaudible instructions, you need to send them to a synth. Go to http://www.cakewalk.com/C...ONARU.aspx/Get-Started and find the "Inserting Synths" demo. I like to keep the MIDI and Synth on separate tracks (the demo shows them combined in the "simple track").
