Recording BFD in Tracktion

[bodhialok]

Silly question but how does one capture the output from a plugin like BFD and record it to a track? I just got the BFD demo. I am able to drag the plugin to track and play it fine. But I am not sure what input I should select to record the sound that I am hearing.
Thanks

you don't record, you render.

Try selecting the track, and using the render option to create a wav file.

if the track is empty it wont render!!

so add a blank midi clip to the track that BFD is on (if it is empty)

then render track

depends if you want to record the midi or audio from bfd.

Are you using the built in midi files in the librarian?
If so you can click and drag them into T2.
While holding down CTRL click and drag the midi groove into T's piano roll.

i use just use a MIDI controller and play the beats that way. I record as MIDI, and it's done.

Thank you all. I am recording audio (not MIDI). Render option pretty much does what I was looking for.
Now a seperate question geared more towards BFD. I I would like to play my own MIDI file which is exported from Fruity Loops. I tried to import it straight into BFD groove library but it just plays the bass drum. Is there any way I can achieve this either with tracktions help or using BFD. Apologize as this is not really a tracktion question but it was the next logical thing I was stuck with.

Thanks

import the midi file into tracktion & put it on the track that has BFD on it

PS you can drag & drop midi & audio files into tracktion

sounds like mapping issue..make surethe notes you made in FL coincide with the right drums in BFD.

You are correct stash. I was importing the MIDI in Trakction but it wouldn't play back with the plugin. Figured mapping was the issue. Thanks
