Need help combining MIDI files! -ACID Product Family

Subject:Need help combining MIDI files! Posted by: Typhoid Date:6/13/2003 12:14:40 AM I have several small MIDI files I am trying to combine into one larger file...Not splicing on top of each other but rather just combining them one directly after another...I have tried program after program with no luck and someone finally told me to try ACID Music...Well I am playing with but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the separate MIDIs into the same one...I can get each one into it's own track but then they all just play at the same time and not one after another... Could someone tell me how to join them in ACID or better yet, does anyone know of an easier way to combine them (like with another simpler program)? It's seems like something that shouldn't be too complicated...Thanks

Reply by: Typhoid Date:6/13/2003 10:39:02 PM Ok I got ACID Pro and I have figured out how to combine the smaller files into one (though it isn't quite how I had i mind)...But how do I save it as a MIDI and more imprtantly, how do I render the file without routing the MIDI through ACIDs internal driver....It sounds like crap...I can route it through my souncard's driver and it sounds great but then I can't save it...How frusterating...
