I did try that as a regular track. Nothing was recorded, just a flat line. No audio or MIDI notes. Adding a MIDI item records MIDI notes ok, just can't get the audio waves while recording. It's a puzzler.As for recording the audio, I just put a regular track on, then added MTPDK. I thought it would record the midi notes, but when I actually did the recording, it came out as wave files. Maybe it's whether you set it up as an audio track or a midi track. I can't really say why it did that.
