El Clapo, how do I get midi or audio to record to tack?

[christian.landstrom]

I'm using El Clapo sequencer and is trying to get either midi or audio to record to a track but has been unable to figure out how?

I can here sound on playback and the claps are there if i bounce down the entire track, but how can i record it to the track?

I'm totally lost here and could really need some help please!

Synth plug-ins that generate audio without MIDI data be recorded using synth audio recording.

El Clapo is in Sonar as a single instrument track (synth) to be able to record it as audio i had to make a new audio track and choose El Clapo as input. Not ideal but it worked. Recording the synth directly gives neither sound or midi in the single instrument track.

Adding an additional audio track is not necessary.

Right click in the instrument track header in the track view and select "Split Instrument Track" to gain access to the underlying audio and MIDI tracks. This audio track is setup to record the synth audio output.

 

In this case the MIDI track is not being used for anything other than a way to get the synth positioned before the audio track input.

Thank you, that worked to and is a better way to approach it!

If you prefer, in this case, the MIDI track may be deleted after splitting the instrument track.

Alternately when adding this synth to a project use any add  method other than the Add Track menu and select only the "First Audio Output" from the "Insert Soft Synth Options" dialog. No need to add the MIDI track to the project.
