How do you indicate/mark a section to use as the introduction to a song?

General Discussion / staccato notes

2006-03-11 05:11 pm

I have a motif of the staccato quarter notes. When I save to midi it removes the staccatoes. So I changed them to one sixteenth notes with appropriate rests in between. Then when I saved to mide it returns them all to quarter notes again.
Why and what can I do to save it the way i want it?

General Discussion / saving to midi

2006-03-05 01:31 am

I am having trouble understanding and successfully saving a song to a midi file.
1. I have some staccato notes in the opening,(of a song) and when I save to a midi it loses the staccato markings. How come?
2. Also it is putting in extra instrument patches that I don't have in the nwc version. How can I get rid of them?
3. What do "channels" mean? do they corrallate (sp?) with each staff? (1st staff=channel one?)...
4. Am I suppose to "record" first then put that into a midi file somehow?
I have a degree in music (many years ago, now)-but I don't use this very often, so I am struggling with this. All this "midi" stuff is after my time. :-)
