Can I record midi files as wave files with Total Recorder?
Yes, in most cases you can. However, different systems may require different recording source settings. There are several ways of playing midi files. Most sound cards are capable of midi synthesis through special on-board hardware. Some midi players are capable of software midi synthesis (e.g. RealPlayer with the Crescendo plug-in). There are also some special drivers (e.g. Yamaha SXG) that provide software midi synthesis. If you use hardware midi synthesis, your card will usually have a line from which you can record. The name is usually MIDI, or Synth, or something similar. The recording source in Total Recorder should be set to Sound Board and the MIDI line should be selected. If you use software midi synthesis, the recording source in Total Recorder should be set to Software. In most systems it is possible to record midi both ways. When I record from “Software” my recording starts when sound begins. However, when I record from “Sound board”, Total Recorder starts recording as soon
