How to operate Toontrack with Logic Pro?

Macbook Pro: Mac OS X 10.7.2: Logic Pro 9.1.6.: Toontrack Solo 1.3.2 /Superior Drummer 2.3.0 / Custom & Vintage Presets:

Situation question: I have set a library VST path, can record MIDI notes in Logic Pro, see it but not able to hear it in playback due to no audio file captured even though I directed an audio recording file pathway. When contacting Toontrack the best advice they could give was to make certain I was launching in AU at which I have launched in both MIDI and then tried again Audio recording with input and recording enabled yet am operating MIDI so this leaves me uncertain about the whole thing. I'm on a serious deadline to record tracks from my Roland V-drum kit. Recap: I can hear and see Toontrack nicely with the Roland kit, can see MIDI recording within Logic Pro but no playback or audio files found in the library I have set, if this makes any sense. Please be generous in your reply since I haven't taken a course in how to operate LP. Thank you...

Logic Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

You won't get audio tracks from a midi controlled software instrument unless you bounce it to an audio file. You should be hearing the output of superoior drummer from the instrument track itself.

Was thinking I had already tried to bounce as an audio file since this is my nature to do so before asking, will try again. Yes, it does seem like I'm hearing drums realtime exclusively from SD2. Many thanks.

I bounced the midi recording as .aif file without any success in being able to playback nor was I able to edit the track in Logic Pro 9 (Express).

The meters are bouncing with proper register of a good midi recording without audible sound when in playback mode but no sound no matter what I do.

Just for clarification, no problem with hearing audio while recording Toontrack it's only when I need to edit the track in LP9.

Your Trying to create an audio track from Midi

1) You can use the Bounce in Place feature, (Right Click on region--Bounce/Merge---Bounce In Place

2) Bounce in the Master fader --Mute all except Superior, set in amd out times, Bit depth...etc

Make sure you drag to an Audio Track after BIP

See picts works fine for me

1-bounce in place

2-Master fadeer bounce

Best

Hi

Further to this, Superior also has an internal "bounce to disk" function that will print the mix, or separate stems for all mics, which can then be imported as audio into your project.
