Ok, ok, I'll take that off... I do want to know who's listening though. Sigh.

If you have cakewalk 9, make sure to get all the patches from cakewalk's site, too.

I have an awe64gold sound card, so generally record the midi data from wrk files to wav through the creative wave editor. I've used goldwave at times too.

When recording from midi to wav, I set up the recording properties of the windows volume thingy to just listen to the midi and wavedata channels. When recording the line-in, I select just the line-in. If other channels are selected than what's being used, that can add hum as well.

Once everything is in audio inside cake, just go to tools - mixdown audio - export to file.

The problem with cakewalk is that the maximum sound level is rather lower than almost any other program, so I then take the mixed file into goldwave and amplify it a bit for the final version.
