Thoughts from the mind of steinway03 <ltarof@...>, 30-12-2002: >Thx for the bounce suggestion. Here's my dilemma. When AudioInst 1 is >set to be Cha = "Instrument 1", then "bounce" doesn't appear on the >master fader. It does. It's just not the fader called "master" but the one called "Output 1-2". >If, instead, Cha = "Output 1-2", ...then you've changed the kind of object it is, and hence have lost the inserted VSTi, and so: >when I click "bnce" I get a message that there is nothing to bounce. ...which is correct. >This is in contrast to the behavior in MIDI where I set up the track >mixer, hit "record" for Audio 1 and get an audio recording either as >SDII or AIFF. > >What's my missing step? You should look at the object whose Cha is set to "Output 1-2". *That* has the BNCE button on it. Make sure that on Instrument-1 the output poup is set to "Output 1-2". And in the Bounce dialog, enter proper start and end times. This is totally unrelated to turning MIDI tracks for external synths into audio btw (which you're talking about in your last paragraph). -- Hendrik Jan Veenstra <h@...> Omega Art: http://www.omega-art.com
