Logic Pro — Recoding a (written) MIDI track to audio: What's going wrong?

Aloha from O'ahu,

I'm working with a multi-timbral instrument, NI's DRUMLAB.

A DRUMLAB's groove plays beautifully in LPX. Each drum plays in a different LPX track.

But... how to record each track to audio? I cannot bounce as there's nothing written in multi-timbral tracks: they're just playing.

If I send from a MIDI track to a BUS, then use that BUS as the input for a new AUDIO track...

... it sometimes works...

... and sometimes doesn't...

I sent the KICK to Bus 18 and used Bus 18 as the input to an Audio track and recorded the kick.

I sent the SNARE to Bus 17 and used Bus 17 as the input for an Audio track and... can't get any sound into the audio track.

The two set-ups in the same project are exactly the same.

Can anyone help?

Mahalo!

Recording a Midi Region to an Audio with an Bus

This is our Channel Strip we want to Record to Audio.

Now you Add an new Audio Track (option command N)

Choose an free Bus Channel for Audio Input

Create the Track and activate Record Button in the Bus Channel Strip

Dont forget to Route the MIDI region to the Bus you createt

(not routet)

(routet)

Press Record and Record your Audio

Aloha e Beatlehrer,

I appreciate the detailed response! Mahalo.

Tomorrow I'll compare what I'm doing (or not doing) to your workflow.

As my "method" works sometimes but not other times, I feel sure there's a detail in what you're doing that I'm missing/overlooking/changing-by-accident.

Thanks again!

Ich freue mich über die ausführliche Antwort! Mahalo.

Morgen vergleiche ich, was ich tue (oder nicht tue) mit Ihrem Arbeitsablauf.

Da meine "Methode" manchmal funktioniert, aber manchmal nicht, bin ich mir sicher, dass es ein Detail in dem gibt, was Sie tun, das ich vermisse / übersehe / aus Versehen verändere.

Danke noch einmal!

Cat
