General Discussion / Re: Midi (as is) to .wav
So am I OK to use the Solmire.com website for a gig I'm getting paid for? I would use live instruments but this is early in the day here. I'm not John Williams lol. I can't walk into a room with a whole orchestra waiting to play my music. I thought if I couldn't use that website, I would have to find a way to convert midi to wav (with the SGM sound font that I really like) without it changing anything, and after looking at now 12 websites I don't think I'm suddenly going to get lucky at this point.

Btw, I would fully support an option in NWC to save files as mp3 or wav. I think that would be excellent for all of us. But I get if that's complicated.

Anyway, thanks for the replies. I AM mentioning NoteWorthy, Solmire and all these sites that have helped me in the credits for the gig. I got scared though, because I thought if I couldn't use that, or find a way to convert them as is, I didn't know what to do? Thanks for the comments again, really appreciated.

General Discussion / Midi (as is) to .wav
Hi everyone, I know this has been brought up here in the past but I couldn't find the exact answers I was looking for.

OK. I'm using NoteWorthy Composer 2 which I bought last year. I want to convert the midi files to wav or mp3 (it doesn't really matter because I can always convert to mp3 on another program that I have) but without changing the actual sound. I downloaded the sound font SGM V2.01 (free) and that's what I want to hear when I convert the midi. I just want that as wav or mp3.

I've tried all kinds of sites/programs (trials or free) which haven't worked out for me, sites like:
SynthFont
Audacity
Conversion Tool
Zamzar
iTunes (I couldn't add any midis at all. Nothing would show up)
Piston Software Converter
Abyssmedia Converter
Maniac Tools Converter
Switch Converter
Midi2wav Recorder
AV Midi Converter

If there's any free site or program on the web that could do that for me, without changing any of the sound, that'd be great.

I'd actually been using Solmire.com to convert my midis, which is how I found the SGM sound font which is what I want. Then I looked at the terms of service: "You can use Solmire.com for non-commercial purposes."

I'm sorry if this sounds dumb or anything, but what exactly does that mean? Does that mean you can't be paid for a gig using backing tracks generated through their site? Or something else? The files btw are my own compositions. Once I read that, I've been trying to figure out what to do ever since. It's just felt endless and so depressing :(

If I can use Solmire.com conversions as backing tracks for gigs, then I suppose I don't need to worry about any of the above (and after all the research I've done in the past two days, they still look like the best site I've ever come across.) If not, is there anything? anything at all? I would appreciate the help soo much.

I'm really enjoying NoteWorthy Composer 2.
