THANK YOU SO MUCH PAT!!!!!! (but of course, I have loads of questions!!!)


1) pick a MIDI style in the style picker and make it the active style

How do I know what style to pick? What effect does this choice have on my final track? It seems to not matter what I pick as ultimately the track will be using the VSTi instrument sound anyway?


____c) assign a specific VSTi/Dxi soft synth for the track

This makes sense...now I am picking something from GPO


____d) use the patch select dialog to pick the patch

But what does this do? I already picked my sound so what am I doing here and what effect will it have on my final track?


3) right click in the RIGHT pane of the track (where the music WAV appears in an audio track) and scroll down the pop-up menu until you find an option that says GENERATE MIDI

I do not see that option...I see Generate MIDI Track with options to choose the Bass, Drums, Piano, etc. and when I select that it says "Can't generate on top of an existing BB MIDI track"

I tried Generate MIDI Solo and that worked but again I am puzzled as to why I am once again needing to choose from a list of 360 styles and it does not seem to matter what I choose for the final track sound!


I did get some tracks to generate but still do not understand why I need to pick all of those various styles when I have a specific VSTi instrument in mind.
