Chapter 3: Quick-Start Tutorial16
Use the Recording Control to select recording of OUTGOING MIDI, and de-
select everything else, including microphone, line-in and audio CD.
Now press the Render to WAV file button.
This begins the process of recording the outgoing MIDI to WAV. The Rendered
wave file name is shown at the top. It will be called "_Old Folks at Home
.WAV" in this example. Note that the underscore at the beginning is a
convention that BB uses to indicate that this is a Rendered wave file.
Press the STOP Render button after about 10 seconds, so that we can test the
level.
Pressing the Test WAV allows us to hear the WAV played by the
Windows

Media Player.
If we're satisfied with the recording levels
and playback, then press the Re-Render-to WAV, but this time let it play for the
whole song, and it will auto-stop at the end.
We've now rendered the whole song to audio. We now have the Rendered
WAV file in a file called "c:\bb\_Old Folks at Home.wav". We can work with
this file in any other programs that we have, converting it to other audio formats
for example.
We can also make a compressed wave file of
this directly inside the BB Render dialog if we want. This is discussed
elsewhere.
That ends the Render to Audio Portion of the tutorial.
Let's Add a GUITAR CHORD SOLO to an existing song.
Load in a song with a Melody on it. We suggest the song GIT_TEST that should
be in your c:\BB directory. If it isn't there, choose the song "Old Folks at Home"
or any other song with a Melody.
Open the Guitar Window. (Ctrl-Shift-G)
Press the Chord Solo button (or alternatively, you could
choose menu Melody- Convert Melody to Guitar Chord Solo).
