Omar, Were you focused in the midi track of the soft synth when you had the vocal track 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.
