Hi all , Im trying to record the sounds I make with various VSTI's in Cubase SX.
I create an audio track under my midi tracks, record enabled button on the audio track is lit, I select "what you hear" on my Audigy recording mixer, then press record in cubase SX.Playback begins and I start tweaking wildly on the cutoff of my Audiorealism bassline synth, but when Ive finished all Im left with is a blank box on the audio track ?? why isnt cubase sx recording the sounds being produced, please help :)

cubase isnt really designed for that method...
what you should likely do is do it cubase's way - read about recording automation then exporting your automation and midi to audio..

But you can still pull it off, with the free Voxengo Recorder VST plug in

Recorder is a VST plug in, just put it in your VST folder and open it IN Cubase.

Im a bit confused as I thought thats what the record enable button on the audio track was for? but thanx anyway Im downloading that voxengo plugin now..cheers :)
I took a sawtooth wave off this Pantomime4, looped it back, mixed it with the sound of this crab committing suicide and let it stew in its own reverb for about 3 hours, then I pumped it all out through this shoe to give it that oak'y timbre.

No, that's there to enable you to select [multiple] tracks to record on.

There are other ones like it, i don't know which suits you best, but Voxengo = quality anyway.

it seems like you're totally missing the point of having a full featured sequencer such as Cubase... :(

yeah, do what ford442 said.

How about reading in the manual about record enable, input selection and VST-Connections... that should get you up & running.

record enable page 89 in the sx 2 'Getting started' manual or page 114 in the sx3 manual.

And why you'd want to record the audio of a VST is beyond me ? why don't you record midi like everybody else. :o
