Just make sure that the MIDI track of the soft synth is armed and that the vocal track is also armed. Don't assume that because you're focused on a particular track, it's necessarily armed. It may not be.

So, you should try that, make sure that both the vocal track and the instrument track are armed.

I've never tried to record a vocal track while recording a midi track, but it would seem that your sound card should be able to handle it. Have a good one.

He likes recording and playing simultaneously. I used a vst piano and had an audio track armed for his vocals. I wasn't aware of this, but apparently, softsynths midi tracks don't record anything if you have an audio track armed? Is this correct? If so, how do you remedy the situation? Thanks.
