But I'd like to have the Melody played by Kontakt or some other software synth. I am able to connect Kontakt through the IAC bus and it sounds great when I listen on my computer. But when I record as above, I don't get the Kontakt synth. How might I be able to do that? Thanks.


The short answer is yes.

Just record the audio output (what the computer is playing). Rather than get a render in a few seconds, this method requires you record the audio in real time.

You will record the sound exactly as it sounds - with a mixture of Realtracks and the midi tracks - The synth you assign to play the midi will be what the audio recording captures. This method works across any platform, PC or Mac.
