Hey,
how would I then begin to EQ the tracks (cut some bass out of a track?)
Just go into the Virtual Instrument audio track and use the eq...
or just use the left and right indicators 2 select yer intro, do solo on the midi track (U should now only hear the virtual instrument).. go file/ export/ audio mixdown... now u have one miditrack and depending on the options U use on the audio mixdown u might have one audio track aswell...
Mute the midi track in order to avoid sound duplication!
Use all eq/ inserts what ever on that audio track...
Should I record that midi to an audio track (wav) and then EQ the wav with soundforge or summin?
Do as above .. going 2 SF is not the best choice 'cause U wouldn't b eq'ing within the track's sound context
What happens to the midi track (and all that programming I’ve done?)
It will still b there...
Say then I wanted to change a drum/note , would I have re-record the midi track?
Yeah U'd have 2 do another audio mixdown... in order 2 record the output of the VST instrument being played by the midi track...
And apply the same EQ again?
If u feel it needs... one of the advantages of having loads of audio tracks available is being able 2 eq/ compress/ etc.. each sound individually!
How does the recorded wav work if i wanted to change tempo of the track, should it resize itself?
U could timestretch so if fits 2 the new time... or u can just do a new Audio mixdown by going back 2 the midi track (which unlike audio always keeps the notes in time with yer tempo) ...
How can I increase the volume of part of a midi section, yet maintain the original volume in X bars/beats time? (does it work similar to the transpose?)
Check on the techno prodution forum any topics related 2 track/mixer/vst/ plug in automation... works basically the same way!
