To me MIDI is a fast way to work, especially when it comes to writing a new song. I can't always remember what I played when I write something new but I can read enough music from the score editor to how I want to proceed with the next parts. Could probably do it by ear with audio but my hearing isn't the greatest. Plus the other advantages of MIDI like layering, cut and paste, etc....Logic has a smart quantize function that works pretty good and I find myself using it quite a bit.

I've tried the steps you laid out and it records the MIDI just fine but doesn't record the audio even though I can see the audio signal on the channel strip. When I play back, the MIDI information plays the Montage. So my problem appears to be in Logic. Normally with a instrument plugin I would just bounce in place and Logic produces the audio file. When I try to bounce in place the information from Montage it leaves me with two lines the represent where the stereo audio would have gone. Do you have a buddy that uses Logic?;) I'll keep trying.....

One peculiar thing.....when I record to Logic using MIDI, the Super Knob doesn't do anything. I works great if I stay with just the audio and record that way. You guys are trying to wean me off of MIDI aren't you:D

Looking forward to getting thru this learning curve and making great music! Thanks for your help
