Hi all,  I use midi files for gigging where i assign a channel for dmx lighting and one for changing my guitar patches. I would like to reduce the amount of gear I carry by recording my files to an audio format but run a midi channel in sync to operate my lighting. Can this be done relatively simple plus whats the best way to record my midi files using my pc. I use a laptop on stage running winXP (Rock solid) with a usb to midi converter. This sends all the midi data to my Karawin player, Digitech guitar processor and my midi to dmx light convertor. I realise if i can get this to work i will be using the audio out socket on the laptop, but how do I trigger the midi channel.  Any help would be greatfully accepted.  Thanks in advance,  Joe.
