Ripping Drum Tracks from MIDI files

Step 3Continuing with DrumTrack

Once you have loaded the MIDI file in DrumTrack, give it a listen (click the play button from near the top). Look at the upper left of the program to see what pattern is playing (many songs begin with one or more silent patterns). Instead of playing all the parts (melody instruments, harmony, etc.), DrumTrack will just play drum instruments.

If you have developed a mastery of DrumTrack, you can enhance the original drum track. Otherwise, you can go on to export the track to something usable.

MP3 File
DrumTrack does NOT export to MP3. So export to a WAV file. Then download and install the freeware program Audacity.

In Audacity, open the WAV file that you just exported.
File > Open
Once it opens, export to MP3
File > Export As > MP3
