I export to MIDI, modify, and make mp3s.

Once in a MIDI sequencer (or DAW) I can insert cues as to when things are going to happen. It might be a drum roll, piano glissando, whistle, cuica, bass run, depending on the mix and what I think I could hear well. I'll do this for when vocals start, when the end of a long solo is coming, or before the last chord progression, so I know when the end is near.

There is more than one right way to do this, and this is my right way.

BTW, I never use the headphone jack to get audio out of my laptop. I use a USB to Audio interface. The advantages are; no static even if the connection is touched, wider bandwidth, and stability.

A basic, no-frills USB->Audio interface works just fine.
