pitch wheel zeroes when converting midi to audio [SOLVED]

[richgilb]

Complete begniner in midi but was surprised to see that the midi file recorded my pitch bend fine yet when converting to audio, it had recorded the pitch bend flat at zero. What can I do?

[David Nahmani]

What instrument is the MIDI file triggering, can you hear the pitch info on playback? How do you convert to audio?

Hi David

 

I am using GForce MTron Pro. I can hear the bend on playback in the midi file. I converted to audio by right-clicking the midi region and clicking 'export as audio file'. Then dragged it into a new track in the project.

That's strange! Maybe it's an issue with the Software Instrument.

Try soloing it then press Bounce in the Toolbar.

Choose a realtime bounce instead of the offline.

Thanks, Eric. I did a toolbar bounce in offline mode previously and it didn't work. Ticking realtime instead of offline sorted it. Good news. Is this a common occurrence? Any ideas why it works like this?

It could be something wrong with the plug-in when using offline.

It could also be a condition depending on you version of Logic.
