Can't bounce MIDI into audio, using soft synths only flat audio lines appear

Welcome to the forum.
What are the Bounce options?
Is the output set to a bus, Master, for instance, when the song isn't being played through the Master bus?
 
 

Your bounce options look fine, and your routing appears to be correct.
Are you holding the [ctrl] key down when you make your track selections?
Both tracks must be highlighted, or you will get a silent bounce.

Have you tried exporting the track(s)?
Create a new folder on your desktop called Audio Files. Select the MIDI and soft synth track like you would if you were bouncing them, then go to File>Export Audio. Use the Audio Files folder as the destination and 44,100 Hz sampling rate and 16-bit.
See what happens...

By the way i have read peoples comments in other posts that you have to create a new audio track and make the input the soft synth, but when I do this the R ecord button disappear.. Still can't find the solution, does anyone have anymore sggestions or solutions?? any help is very appreciated

But the Record button disappears from the audio track, right? It's MIDI you are recording on the MIDI track when you use Sound Center .
When you use the "Insert Soft Synth" dropdown box or Synth Rack all these tracks and routing are created automatically. You don't need to mess with them at all. I recommend not using the "Simple Instrument Track" option, untill you're familiar with whole procedure. Also, select the "First Audio Output" -option, as long as your not totally "in" yet.
 
I don't have Sound Center, so this may be stupid, but I write it down anyway:
 
In the screen capture you attached your export source is Tracks/"Sound Center1 Primary Output Stereo". Is that really the name of the audio track that is playing the soft synth? In my export settings there is normally the number of the audio track or the name I have given to the track, like " Kontakt Bass".
 
In my system, that "Primary Output:Stereo" would be the input of the audio track that is assigned to the soft synth, not the export source.

Hi Kalle, haha no problem! it is nice that you think about my problem en want to help me! I bet you can bounce your MIDI into audio can't you? Maybe another idea what i'm doing wrong?? thankyou

  I insert Sound center like this: I just hit insert--> soft synths --> ezdrummer/sound center etc. Than a list of options pop up (in the attachment) and I click OK a soft synth is created.

Everything seems to be right, so I'm stumped.

And you record MIDI on the MIDI track with....what? And you see there are  MIDI notes in the Piano Roll View?

And when you press "play" the MIDI is played by Sound Center with the sounds of your choice,
but when you select both of the tracks (Tracks, not clips), MIDI and audio, and bounce or export, you only get a silent flat line? Or, if you select nothing, it's the same as selecting all (if there only is this one soft synth track.)

And the output of the MIDI track is Sound Center, and the input of the audio track is Sound Center?

Or, if you use simple instrument track, you click on the track number to select both MIDI and audio, and get a flat line all the same?

SO in the end I have 3 tracks MIDI soft synth and the new audio track (which contains no data)


How come you have three MIDI tracks...a typo? There should be the original MIDI track which includes the MIDI notes you see in PRV and the audio track that plays back the MIDI via Sound Center, and the destination audio track containing the bounced audio. What are the 3 MIDI tracks you mention?

OK amswering with my iPhone is not a very good idea.. Im very sorry but i meant to say: i have 3 tracks: one MIDI track, one Soft synth track and one new audio track. There is missing something like a , or a : in my previous message. But i have just what you said..three tracks

  I import a midi file (it opens several MIDI tracks) I deleted them all exept one. So I have a MIDI track with MIDI in it (you can see the notes in PRV) The out put of the synth track is master No I can't find a freeze button I have a printscreen of the alt-0 (overall screen) of my sonar with the song in the attachement.. In this picture i have selected the two tracks i want to bounce to tracks thanks for all the suggestions :) I hope my problem will be solved soon, that will only happen if you keep thinking and name things thankyou!

I think I see something.
In your selected MIDI track, there is a bank and patch selection showing(in the track inspector).
These are not available if the MIDI track output is set to Sound Center, but they are available if the output is going to the MS Wavetable Synth. 
So the sound you are hearing is not really coming from Sound Center.
Sound Center is not receiving any input, and is not producing sound, so you get a bounced track with only silence.  
Expand your MIDI track so you can see the output selection.
If the MIDI track is properly associated with the Sound Center audio track, you should see something like this:


You won't see the waveform in your synth audio track. The waveform preview is not available in LE.
This screen shot is from 8.3 Studio.

Also, the freeze button would appear in the blank space next to the Solo button in the Synth Rack if it were available.
It appears that LE does not have that option.

Sorry, double
