One more question: you do have to record the midi tracks to audio before 
actually converting to waive or mp3 in the export menu, am I correct on this?

  If you mean vocal tracks when you say record audio tracks, then the answer is 
no. I record vocals while my hardware synths are still midi tracks.

    Thanks: however, it is true, is it not, that I must convert my hardware 
midi tracks to audio before recording actual audio tracks? John

      It doesn't really matter whether you do the hardware synths or softsynths 
first. I always like to get the hardware stuff out of the way just because it's 
more time-consuming. You don't need to convert any of the tracks as wav or mp3 
until you're done mixing/mastering. I don't even freeze a softsynth until I'm 
done, because I might decide to change an eq or effect on a particular 
instrument. Some of this, though, is preference. So I'm sure you'll get 
different approaches to this.

        Hello: I am using sonar 6.2.  Generally, I use many hardware synths to 
        create my midi tracks which I convert to audio before actually playing 
live 
        audio tracks and/or recording the vocals. Then I convert the tracks to 
waive 
        or mp3.
        Now that I am beginning to use more sof synths I have a question about 
the 
        order in which I should proceed.
        E.G. if I create four midi tracks with hardware synths and want to then 
        create 4 tracks with soft synths, should I first convert my hardware 
midi 
        tracks to audio before recording the soft synths  and then use the 
bounce to 
        track command to convert the soft synths tracks? Must I do this before 
        actually recording my live audio tracks such as guitar or horns or 
vocals?
        Alternatively, can I create my midi tracks from the hardware synths, 
record 
        my soft synths and then convert midi to audio followed by the bounce to 
        track command?
        Finally, and I'll stop after this one, is it possible for me to leave 
the 
        softsynths tracks alone until actually mixing down to waive or MP3?
        Sorry for this long post. Any help would be appreciated.
