How to bounce cakewalk tts-1 digital to and audio track

[Frank DeFede]

I am just getting back into using Sonar.  I know a fair amount, but I am a little lost on how to bounce a cakewalk TTS track to an audio track.

I think I have setup the TTS-1 correctly, recorded a track, and I see where it is being bounced right below when in the preview mode.  I push the little play button and it generates an audio wave file on that audio track.  I learned that if I hit the record button it actually records the wave file.  Great!  But, I inserted another midi track, and I recorded a string part on it.  I can't figure out how to generate the wave file on one of the other available cakewalk audio tracks for the strings.  

Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks

By far the easiest way is just to freeze the synth.

Thanks Mark, I have never done that before.  I will try to figure it out. 

I have two tracks.  One is piano, the other a short string section.  When I record one, two it also on the audio track.  I will see if I can figure out freeze.  Thanks for your patience with me.  I owned and ran a 24-track two-inch tape studio for 30 years.  Not up on the digital that great yet.

Just mute the tracks you don't want in the audio, freeze TTS-1,then CTRL + drag the audio to a new audio track, unfreeze and repeat.

This is the way I do it.  Each freeze takes seconds, rather than having to bounce in real time.

To use Bounce to Tracks to create synth audio see http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=SoftSynths.12.html

To use freeze to create synth audio see http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Mixing.23.html

Both use the same routines to create audio.

Bounce creates audio in a new track but does not automatically disconnect the synth.

Freeze creates audio in the synth's audio track and disconnects the synth.
