That's correct.

  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.
