I am trying to send the output of one of my instrument tracks to an audio so i can record a sample of what im playing with the instrument. I'm not exactly sure how to do this, if someone could let me know i would be greatful.

I remember with protools i coulnt do this and needed to patch it externally, is that the case with logic? I'm so used to abelton now, everything which is used to do in there is now so complicated :S.

Any tips would be great.

Patch externally?!!

Instrument track OUT --> Bus ##

Bus ## --> Audio Track IN.

Sorted!

I'm confident Logic will do it too, just need someone to chime if with the solution.

hehe, shows how much i paid attention when i was learning protools.

i just have been informed that i should bouce the track as logic cannot route like that.

if anyone has more to say on this bring it on...

It's been a while since I used it but I think that's right, you need to solo and bounce instrument tracks and import back in as audio - or just freeze them until the mix is finished.

I think it's because a 'Bus' in Logic is treated like an audio object rather than an audio path as it is in PT. Once you've sent the instrument's signal to the Bus, the Bus object can't route it's output to an audio track input - only to the master channel, another bus or physical outputs. Happy to be corrected on that, but that's how I remember it.

yeah that seems right, thanks rob

I am not in front of it at the mo. but I am pretty sure that you can do it very easy via bus routing. Set a bus pre send ( pref set to 0 ) on your instrument track then just take this bus as the input of your audio track ( u might want to loose the output on that one ) ...should work absolutely fine
