The Logic Off Topic list

These may be elementary questions:

If I insert a plug-in (ESX, EVP, Mini-Moog, etc) in an instrument 
track I can only record midi data. How do I record it as an audio 
track? (How do I get instrument input to an audio track input from my 
plug-ins?)Do I need to output and patch back in through my patch-bay? 
( I need to conserve processor power. If I can record my virtual 
instruments one at a time to an audio track and close them, It would 
help.)

System:
Motu 2408MKIII, Express XT, G4 OSX, Logic 6 Pro 

Can anyone help..........?

Thanks

Hi Wolfgang,

Open up Logic Pro, and under the Help menu, open "Logic Audio Help". In 
the search window, enter "bounce". For my copy of Logic Audio 6.3.1, it 
contains all the info one would need to solve your problem.

Solo the virtual instrument channel/track and "bounce to disc" (done by
clicking the little "bnc" button at the main stereo out). Then put the
resulting audio file on an audio track.

This is another method. Some people simply "re-record" the output to an
audio track because it's a faster way to convert virtual midi instruments
midi tracks to audio.

Freeze! I just scanned the Emagic pages and found no indication that the
freeze function is not a part of your version as well (Express)
