MIDI to MP3 convertor

[hernando]

Do any of you guys and gals have experience of modern MIDI to MP3 convertor software that you can recommend?

Having just set up a new computer I am looking for some nice up-to-date audio software, and in particular, I need a good MIDI to MP3 convertor, that doesn't rely on the computers sound card, for transferring my home recorded backing tracks to CD's etc..

So far, the "Direct MIDI to MP3 Converter" from Piston Software looks as if it will fit the bill.

I realize that there are probably some previous threads that may help me, and I did go through a similar exercise over 10 years ago with my old computer. However, technology changes so quickly and I cannot now afford the time to go comparing the meerkats again!
