Playing Absynth through PTLE. Only through Audio Tracks?

[Timothy72]

I am running Absynth. There have been several posts on how to play it through Absynth and there is a section on it in the PTLE PDF file. They all said to set up an auxiliary track and select Direct Connect from the Plug Ins in the Mix View. I do not have Direct Connect in the Mix View. BUT I DO HAVE IT IN ON AUDIO TRACKS. So, I establish an audio track, and the Plug In is actually called "Absynth", I think from an IAC bus I created. When I select this the Direct Connect dialog box comes up.

So, at first I thought this was an interesting soluction, the problem is that I can't really record this way.

I checked the locations of the Direct Connect Plug In and verfied it is in the Plug Ins folder.

So, what am I doing wrong?

Tim.
