Does anyone know how to use the Bounce function to record the audio output of external midi gear? I have read the other posts on this issue and read the manual, but I still can't get it to work. Currently I solo the midi track I want to record while I record audio on another audio track. I have read the instructions on how to do this by using the Live In's but it is not working. This is what I do: I create a stereo Audio Input object and I am able to see the audio levels going in that In but I cannot route the audio to the Audio Out 1-2 object for bouncing. I made sure that the Audio Ins were routed to OUt 1-2 and by default they are, but it still doesn't work. I also turn the volume of that Audio Input object all the way up and still nothing shows up. Is there any cabling that has to be done in the audio environment to make the live input feed into the Output 1-2. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help. David

I have done exactly what you said - route inputs to an output and then bounce - it works here as long as software monitoring is on. You mentioned soloing the midi track and recording to another - I have done this also. Do you intend to simply record a midi'd instrument as audio, or do you want to include live inputs as you bounce your mix? If you are just tracking synths before mixing and need to use solo, just record enable your audio track, then put logic in record-enable/toggle (it pauses) then highlight the midi track objects you want to record/bounce, hit solo, then play. When Logic enters record-enable, solo'd track objects are no longer highlighted (at least in 5.0), so you have to select them *after* putting Logic in record-enable mode. Works for me anyway.

I activated it and that solved my issue. Thanks for your help man! > You mentioned soloing the midi track and recording to > another - I have done this also.

I was just trying to simplify the bounce midi to audio process by using bounce instead of manually soloing the object on the desired track. I'll test this new method and choose which I like better.
