Issue Recording audio from Bus

[Iggyfog]

Hi 

 

I seem to continually have issues with recording audio using a bus as an input.

 

Essentially what I want to do is the following:

 

I have an audio track lets call it dry percussion.

i have put a bus on the audio track and on the send i have put Native instruments guitar fx on the bus (say bus 1)

i then create a new audio track with input enabled and recording enabled.

I then set the input of the new audio track as bus 1

So when I click on record in theory I should record the the output of the percussion through the send into the audio.

However i don't and all i get is the dry percussion.

 

So am i missing something here?

 

Thanks for all your help as always!

You're bringing up the send pot on the original track, right?

If you inserted your plug-in on an Aux channel strip that has its input set to Bus 1, then set that Aux channel strip's output to Bus 2 and record Bus 2 onto your audio track. 

 

However, why use a send at all? If you want serial processing (the plug-in processes 100% of the guitar signal) then insert the plug-in on the guitar's channel strip, set that channel strip's output to Bus 1, and record Bus 1. If you're doing parallel processing then send from the guitar channel strip to bus 1 and insert the plug-in on the Aux that receives bus 1 as you did, but then set the output of BOTH the Aux and the guitar channel strip to Bus 2 and record Bus 2.
