Once you record a track from a soft-synth, can't you just remove the soft-synth and keep the recorded track?

nope, no problem at all. I was told this is simply USER ERROR.  That's right.  The issue is ME... not the software.
 
NONE=ALL in Cakewalk world.  GOT IT?  GOOD.   Make sure you get it good before people attack you.

Those threads are confusing me,  because it quotes the user "SilverBlueMadallion" but has your name next to them.
 

i changed my username.   

Wow I didn't know that was possible. How do you do that ? is it in profile settings or something ?

So many people blocked him, maybe he thought changing a username might change things?
Lol!

 
nope.  changed my username because the "SilverBlueMedallion" I converted to an artistic project for use at another time.  Would rather not flood google searches with this content.
 
Of course leave it you to come here to post something about me.  You seem unstable to be honest.  You follow me from post to post to post snarky comments about me.

Yes.
 
What I do though is to "bounce to track" the soft-synth and then "mute" and "hide" the soft-synth. This way if after listening to the project several times, I find that sometimes I need to tweak something I missed earlier. I can got back and modify the soft-synth and then bounce to track again.

why not just freeze the track then?  so much easier and more organized.

I used to do that, but to quote "Bitflipper":
"My biggest issue with frozen tracks is you cannot add volume automation because if the track is subsequently unfrozen the automation will be lost. So I routinely bounce soft synths to a separate audio track in a separate folder, where it can then be treated like any normal audio track. I'll typically freeze the synth and then CTL-drag the frozen audio into a new track, archive and hide the original. 

Now you're doing a straight all-audio mix. Effects and automation can be freely added, removed and tweaked without restrictions. And your CPU won't break a sweat, no matter how many heavy-duty soft synths you used.

The only downside to this technique is that it's a hassle to go back and edit the original MIDI, so I usually hold off until I'm happy with the MIDI, basic EQ/compression and starting volume levels. I'll also do some MIDI volume automation prior to bouncing, especially for orchestral swells and crescendos."
 
I personally like the way this works and it only takes seconds to bounce a track. (I bounce to track vs Ctrl-drag)

I add volume automation all the time to a frozen soft synth.
MIDI volume no, audio yes.
