Greetings,
I always give my best effort before bothering anyone on this list. I
just can't find the missing peice.
Here's the situation:
I create sequence tracks in jazz. Then I record live tracks in
ecasound while the midi file plays via timidiy. The problem is that
jazz plays from the sound card and timidity can only play .pat files. I
create a lush sounding recording in jazz and when I play it with
timidity, it sounds weak. Appeartenly, ecasound only supports playing
midi files via timidiy. And timidiy can't access the sounds on the sound
card.
I've been looking all over for several solutions:
(1) A midi to wav converter that creates a wav that sounds like what I
created in jazz (via the sound card). Then I can just play the wav in
ecasound while I record my live tracks along with it. (Timidity will
covert to wav, but it's the .pat sounds). I tried using vsound, but it
fails with every midi player I've tried.
(2) I keep hearing about alsa "capturing" sound. I can't find any
documentation on what and how it "captures". Can I press play in a midi
player and the sound can be recorded to wav? If so, how?
(3) Is there a program that converts .sf2 to .pat. If so, then when I
play midi files with timidity, they will sound like what I created with
jazz.
Thanks in advance...
Rocco
