Hello all,

I completed a song in Midi format (virtual piano). How do I convert to wave file so I can make a music video? I have been looking over the manual but not too much progress. Dai

Before I read your reply I chose the later options (save all tracks to wave, audio...) and I was able to play and save the entire song in Media Player. So that means the midi data was converted to wave format? I am still trying to make a slide show with this Media Player file but yet still no go. I just upgraded to Windows 11 two weeks ago and is there a free video editing program that comes with it? I want to have a video with pictures and my music with the ability to add titles. I will do as you suggested to see what happens. Dai

PS: can you burn CD with media player file?

OK,
I did as you suggested and I ended up with the exact Media Player file as before. Dai

For free video tool, maybe try OBS?
Windows dropped the free Movie Maker a while back.

As far as the original issue, you were able to create a wave of your song that plays in Media Player, so that's a win.

Good suggestion. OBS is really powerful and it is free. I used it for a long time but honestly struggled with the learning curve associated with all that power. I turned to https://www.flashbackrecorder.com/ several years ago and have not looked back. It does everything I need it to without the drama of the learning curve. They have a free (30 day) version, but if you need to record multiple audio tracks simultaneously (vocal mic and the PC audio) , you will need to purchase the Pro version. But all versions are relatively cheap for what it does. grin

Your link interested me, so I went to the site and clicked 'Pricing' in the top menu.
It took me to a page with lots of stuff, but not pricing.
Just a lot of 'Buy Now' offers .. uh no, not without knowing cost. I hate when sites do crap like this.

That's not your fault DrDan, I know that, just irritating.
They had my interest until they wanted me to buy it while refusing to show the price.

OK, I see what you mean...

Also I need to clarify. They have totally removed Fastback Pro V5 - which is the product I use. The replacement product does NOT record simulaneous multiple audio inputs (sorry, I knew that, but I had forgotten). It is still a low learning curve and I will continue to use my Fastback Pro V5, but appearently it is no longer supported.

So I am going to go back to my original thread and remove the "personnal recommendation". Still likely a good product (see pricing below), but I do hate the annual licence stuff which is also new!

For the OPs need, maybe even something like Nero would work.
Very simple to use. Affordable one time price.
