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. Omar Binno Website: www.bigoproductions.net AIM: LOD1116 -- Dominique: Writing via Thunderbird in Vinux.
