</div>midi is meant to be rendered by a sound generator module, a synth, a<br>
sampler, a stand-alone or an instrument plugin (dssi, vsti or lv2); you<br>
can drive external midi outboard equipment as well, which in fact was<br>
and still is the primordial goal of a midi sequencer like qtractor.<br>
<br>
qtractor does not include/integrate any midi sound generator per se, so<br>
you cannot render midi tracks directly to audio files. but you can<br>
record/bound the sound modules output back into qtractor, ardour or any<br>
other jack enabled hard-disk recorder if you prefer.<br>
<br>
qtractor exports audio tracks as audio files; similarly it exports midi<br>
tracks as standard midi files, nothing else ;)<br>

</div>qtractor is not ardour (tm) -- internal signal flow models are not the<br>
same, not even close ;)<br>
<br>
re. qtractor, each "input bus" feeds a track on recording; each track<br>
feeds an "output bus" for mixdown/merging on playback; it is these "bus"<br>
devices that are exposed as jack audio ports or alsa-seq ports (midi)<br>
from or to the outside world.<br>
<br>
again, buses in qtractor are not the same as buses in ardour. in<br>
qtractor, buses are what you ever see in the jack graph. you never see<br>
tracks ;)<br></blockquote></div><br><br>I don't understand it totally. Let assume I have to midi tracks in qtractor and I want to record those to two audio tracks in qtractor. But there is only master_in1 and master_in2.<br>
<br>When I add an audio track, I can only choose for master_in. Also for new audio track number two, master_in. How to route output of synth 1 to track1 and synth 2 to track 2? <br><br>\r<br>
