I've googled and found nothing.. and I know there are a lot of Ableton users here so maybe someone could help!

Is there anyway to export midi clips as audio?
I think it will take to much time to make an audio track for each individual track.


Thanks!

Edit: all midi clips at once! I tried selecting all but it only did one!

freeze your midi track and flatten it, I suggest that you always copy the track that you want to flatten, so you always have something to fall back on if shit goes wrong:)

So you have to flatten each track one at a time??

Edit: the reason I'm asking is because I want to take a set from Live 8 and load the audio files into a lite version.. but after all the tracks are sent to audio go back to the original midi on the main track!

why would you load it into a lite version:s????
and what's wrong with midi?

I don't know exactly what you mean and what your goal is?

and what do you mean with this?

ut after all the tracks are sent to audio go back to the original midi on the main track!

explain me a bit better and I can help:)

why not render as stems?

I'm workin on a project w/ my friend.. he has Live 8.. I have Live APC40 edition.. I want to be able to take clips from his and load them on mine.. and on mine it only allows 2 plugins per track(i think) and several of our tracks have multiple plugins.. so I figured just bounce them to audio then I could load them up in mine.. And after its all said and done get his tracks back to midi.. so probably just undoing could do that!

-Thanks

how would you go about doing that from clip view?

Im not saying this is the way you should do it.... just thought I would point out.... SOMETIMES PRODUCING MUSIC TAKES A GOOD AMOUNT OF TIME.

quick record off to session view and do it from there i reckon.

also when you were saying about freezing tracks earlier, you can select all and then freeze+flatten so you don't need to do them individually.

Nice.. Before I was clicking on a occupied cell then selecting all(and that would only do the cell i clicked on.. not all the ones selected).. but if I first click a blank cell it works

I did notice that I now have both 15sec and 7 sec clips of everything.. why both?

I think you can drag a midi clip right out of Ableton onto your desktop. Otherwise, try right clicking the clip, or look in the export menu. You can definitely do it at least 1 of these 3 ways, I can't remember which but I have done it before.

not sure i get your comment, are you saying it's not helpful because you don't know how to do this or something else?

Well there is no automated way of doing that, or is there? There should be IMO.

There is. When you are exporting in the pop up menu, there is a pull down bar, you select Master, or individual tracks, etc.

Read? Are you serious? Never read a manual in my life lol. This is helpful tho

PS: There is an option to do all stems at once too. Just be aware thats a big ass folder if you do 10-20 stems of a 5-6 minute song.

I was just doing it by soloing each track and rendering. And like you say I would eliminate dead air and redundancy to keep the file size down but I am often reluctant to do it because I feel like there are better things I could be doing with my time. The extra size of the file might be worth it in the name of laziness.

I am in 100% agreement. I too am lazy.
