I don't know of I am in the correct forum but here goes.

I am working on a project in which I would like to use some guitar riffs found in the Sound Factory Guitar synth.
The problem I am having, is that after having created a new track via the Sound Factory soft synth, I am able play and listen to the riff I want to use but I cannot seem to be able to record it to the track.

Can anyone please help?

Thank you in advance.

How to "record" the audio output of soft synths (actually done by "bouncing" the track) is in the help here.

Thank's for the info. However the instructions refered to seem  to assume that the track has been recorded.  My problem is that I cannot even record the guitar riffs on the track. As mentioned above, with the Synth I can create a track, call up Sound factory, go into the guitar area, choose what I like, play it on the keyboard and hear it, but it will not record.
I surely must be doing something incorrectly..................but I don't know what.
 
That is the problem.
Can anyone help.
 
Thank's

OK I'm unsure of your level of Sonar knowledge and experience here, so I've two suggestions.

1. If you are asking how to record MIDI and play it back via a soft synth (such as Dimension Pro), I could take you through it step by step, but Tutorial 4 in the manual/help  "playing and recording software instruments" probably explains things more clearly and completely than I can. Have a look a that as your next move.

2. If, on the other hand, you have inserted Dimension Pro into a project, loaded a patch, have the necessary MIDI and audio or combined "instrument" track set up, and it's receiving MIDI input from your controller and operating the synth OK but refusing to record when armed, that's a different matter. If this is the problem, it might help to know how you have MIDI routing set up on the relevant track, MIDI channel, etc.

Thank's tlw. I have no problem whatsoever with Dimension Pro or any other Soft Synth like the SI Instruments. It's only with  Sound Factory that the situation described above occurs.
