Automatic "Rendering" is relatively new stuff.

If using MIDI synth(s) that are not DXi -- and capable of the Automatic Render -- you cannot use the "Render". Not if you want to get a wav file of what you are hearing from your synth.

And if you use a *hardware* MIDI synth, the only way to capture that is to arm an audio track and record the playback from end to end.

Which is exactly how studios do it anyway, whether using analog tape or digital pcm equipments.

You get more control that way.

You can do active mixing by adjusting mix controls during the playback to record, too.
