When I want to make an Audio file using my Ketron SD2, I have to Audio Record the entire Band in a Box performance from beginning to end.

This can be done using the BB Audio Track, I find it better to open another Recording Program (typically the free Audacity.exe) and set the soundcard's Record Properties to record "Line Inpout" or, if the audio outputs of the Ketron are connected to Line Input and you can hear it playback in BB, alternatively you can use whatever the particular sound device mfr happens to call the input that records directly from the playback output. This second way can also capture any RealTracks and/or RealDrums the songfile may be using as well as the output of the Ketron.

This is not a fast Render operation, it is a simple one, though, once levels are set correctly. Only takes as much time to do as the length of the songfile itself. An added advantage is that a separate Audio program has all sorts of fast editing capabilities, one can easily strip off Countin if desired, can use Plugins to change apparent Loudness and Volume if needed, can Save As .wav, .mp3 or any other pcm audio format the recording program can handle.

Again, there isn't any way to perform a Direct Render when using *any* hardware MIDI synth. The sounds are in the box, outside the realm of the computer's cpu.
