Recording Rewire Audio In Cubase Sx Options

[Pat Hargan]

I'm using Rewire to route audio from Plogue Bidule and Max/MSP into Cubase SX, but I can't figure out how to record it. The Cubase documentation tells me I can do this using 'export audio mixdown', but this is unsatisfactory because (a) I would need to know in advance how long I am going to be playing for, and (b) once the export starts, I can no longer monitor what I am playing.

What I want to do is use a Plogue or Max patch as an instrument and record the audio, just as if I were jamming on a guitar and recording to an audio track - i.e. hit record and play. Surely this is the whole point of Rewire? Is there some way of routing the output of the Rewire channels to an audio track? When I tried this, the channels didn't show up as options on the audio track's input source box.
