Hi everyone, I'm new to Logic and to this forum and have a question about recording a soft synth. I'm able to pull up Trilogy on an instrument track and record MIDI and play it back successfully. Now I would like to be able to record my midi track into an audio track so I can burn it to a CD at a later point. Of course I would have more tracks than just a bass track but I'm using this as an example. I'm coming from DP and in that program I send audio from the soft synth to a buss and set the input on the audio channel to the same buss. To hear it I enable "monitor thru effects." Also, I would like to have the ability to play a software synth and record both MIDI and audio at the same time plus hear it while I'm playing. I know this should be easy but I can't figure it out from the online manual. I'm using Logic Express and a MOTU 828 if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance for any help. Aaron

It's different from DP or Pro Tools, where you need one MIDI track and one virtual instrument track to hear the sounds. (I think Pro Tools 7 is different though). You don't need to record the Trilogy, or any other virtual instrument, into an audio track. You can bounce the Trilogy track exactly as it was an audio track. And you can use plug-ins, edit and use automation as well. If you want to see/edit the audio waveform of an Audio Instrument, all you need to do is bounce it soloed and import it to the Arrange window. Gordon

Thanks for the suggestion, it worked great. Aaron
