If you mean vocal tracks when you say record audio tracks, then the answer is 
no. I record vocals while my hardware synths are still midi tracks.

  Thanks: however, it is true, is it not, that I must convert my hardware midi 
tracks to audio before recording actual audio tracks? John

    It doesn't really matter whether you do the hardware synths or softsynths 
first. I always like to get the hardware stuff out of the way just because it's 
more time-consuming. You don't need to convert any of the tracks as wav or mp3 
until you're done mixing/mastering. I don't even freeze a softsynth until I'm 
done, because I might decide to change an eq or effect on a particular 
instrument. Some of this, though, is preference. So I'm sure you'll get 
different approaches to this.

      Hello: I am using sonar 6.2.  Generally, I use many hardware synths to 
      create my midi tracks which I convert to audio before actually playing 
live 
      audio tracks and/or recording the vocals. Then I convert the tracks to 
waive 
      or mp3.
      Now that I am beginning to use more sof synths I have a question about 
the 
      order in which I should proceed.
      E.G. if I create four midi tracks with hardware synths and want to then 
      create 4 tracks with soft synths, should I first convert my hardware midi 
      tracks to audio before recording the soft synths  and then use the bounce 
to 
      track command to convert the soft synths tracks? Must I do this before 
      actually recording my live audio tracks such as guitar or horns or vocals?
      Alternatively, can I create my midi tracks from the hardware synths, 
record 
      my soft synths and then convert midi to audio followed by the bounce to 
      track command?
      Finally, and I'll stop after this one, is it possible for me to leave the 
      softsynths tracks alone until actually mixing down to waive or MP3?
      Sorry for this long post. Any help would be appreciated.
