    Don't know why but my computer can't handle much in the way of halion
    tracks so I want to print the midi files to real audio and try to
    relieve some of the CPU. How do I do that. I have search and would
    think it was an easy thing to do - getting desperate here!

    Thanks

    Solo a Halion MIDI track with the L and R markers showing the beginning and
    ending of the part you want to record.

    File -> export -> audio mixdown.

    Repeat as necessary

    Which version of Cubase do you use?
    If it´s SX2 or newer, you can choose the mixdown "source channel" in the
    mixdown window. That will lead to the same result as solo-ing the
    "instrument channel" for a VSTi and you can choose to import the mixdown
    file automatically into the project (on a new audio track), if you wish to.
    The L and R locators must, of course, be set the same way as with the "solo"
    method. ;-) That means, according to the length of the MIDI events - better
    leave some additional "space" at the end, so the sound generated by the last
    note isn´t cut-off in the audio mixdown.

    Or, again with SX2 and newer, you can use the "freeze" function. Search the
    PDF manual for details, how it works and what it does. ;-)


    Hope that helps,

    THANK YOU BOTH!!! I think I knew that and my brain fart thing set in.
    I've been using cubase exclusively since Cubase VST first came out.
    I'm on Cubase 5 now..... you'd think I could figure this out
    already :)

    Anyway, thanks for saving my last 3 brain cells.
