    I know this may be a dumb question but I am very new to the software and have not been able to properly export my small piece of music to a file that can be played. I have a track and an MIDI Out that plays a small “Mary Had a Little Lamb” piece.

    I am just not sure how to export this piece to a music file properly. When I click “File” in the editor and click “Export to Sound File”, it exports a .wav file that cannot be played. When I convert this .wav file to mp3 it’s just a sound file that ends at 0. I also tried recording the piece but I don’t know how that works. I record the piece but am not sure where the recording goes or how to manipulate it. Sorry for the noob question but any help would be appreciated.

    Are you using the “File” menu in the editor (bottom half of the window, where it says “Editor: Track 1”) or the arrangement (top half, right below the project tabs)? Try the one in the arrangement, that will create a mixdown of all tracks.

    Also, it appears you’re using a MIDI output to control an external device to produce sound. In that case, you have to route its audio output back into Podium and record it. If you don’t use an external synthesizer or anything like that, the MIDI output by itself won’t produce any sound. You’ll need to use a VST instrument plugin if you want to create sound with just your computer.

    Let me know if this helps!

    Wow you made it so much clearer to understand. Thank you so much! I was trying to understand the MIDI dynamics because I am new to digital music in general but I can maneuver the software much better now. You’re awesome.
