Hi brian

quote
"It seems that the Use VSTi/DXi Synth option has to be ticked and a VSTi/DXi synth added to the default slot.
Even if no midi tracks, just RealTracks are being used in your song it will fail render if not ticked."


I think you will find that has always been the case that you cant direct render unless you use vst/dxi synth .
As the midi in your case, is being sent out to your midi device and then on to your speakers /sound system.
But does not get routed back to the software audio if you see what I mean.
It would make sense if there was any midi tracks involved of course.
I am sure someone can explain it better than me.
Just my take.
Mike
