Recording a Virtual Synth - RESOLVED
I have an Arturia Mini-V (virtual MiniMoog). It is playing a polyphonic pad on a track. The patch is set so the sound dies away slowly after the keys are released.
I want to convert this to audio.
1-If I freeze the sound, it cuts off when the keys are released.
2-If I try to Bounce, Cakewalk says, "Sorry, that's not audio."
3-If I try to record, I run into the well-documented problem that audio is only output to the instrument track and that track has no record button. (I think this is a mistake, by the way. As discussed on this forum, it should be possible to record an internal synth the same way one records an external one.)
The solution is to take the Smart Tool and stretch the MIDI clip out for however long you think you need for the sound to decay. Then when you bounce, you will capture all the audio. I think this is a work-around and not a solution, though.
