Recording Audio from an
External MIDI Instrument
You can record audio from an external MIDI in-
strument in one of two ways:
• By bussing audio from the output of the Instru-
ment (or Auxiliary Input) track used to monitor
the MIDI instrument to an audio track for re-
cording.
• By setting the audio track’s Audio Input Path se-
lector to the same Audio Input Path as the Instru-
ment (or Auxiliary Input) track used for
monitoring the external MIDI instrument.
This second method avoids any additional latency
associated with bussing. However, be sure to mute
the Instrument (or Auxiliary Input) track used for
monitoring while recording the same audio path to
the audio track.
