Recording Virtual Instrument Audio

[cc1]

Stereo audio track 1 has a RTAS virtual instrument on it. When I put track 1 in record with the instrument playing the audio is not recorded (silence is recorded). The only way I can record the instrument is to buss track 1 to track 2 and record on track 2. Is this correct? What the correct way to record virtual instrument audio? I can't find in the manual where it covers this.

Thanks for help.

Yup --- that's the way to do it.

Does digidesign have plans to give the instrument track ability to record the instrument audio?
