Exporting to MP3 (and problems with old cwp projects)

[Tyler]

So, I found a ton of my old .cwp files from a long time ago. I'd really like to have them all as mp3 files. I opened up the first few, exported them, and it worked great.

Then, a couple days went by and then I got back to my files. I tried exporting another... but it said it had no audio. I skipped it and went to another project. This one exported, but when I listened to it, it was 4 minutes of silence.

I'm not sure what I changed over those few days, but suddenly any new project I open won't export properly.

I did some checking. The four projects that worked all open and have Cakewalk TTS-1 as their midi channel. Any new project I open now just say <default> for it's midi channel. Could this be the problem? How do I get the projects to open with TTS then?

Any help would be great appreciated. If I'm not providing something here that is needed, please let me know.

Thanks!

Is TTS-1 actually loaded in the synth rack when you load the older projects? 

[Tyler]

It has been a LONG time since I've used this kind of software (and I don't think TTS was a thing back then, but I could be mistaken). Sorry, but how would I go about checking that?

EDIT: I found it and yes, TTS-1 is in the synth rack.

Edit -> Select -> Select None, then export "What You Hear".
