Hi,

I've posted this question elsewhere and gotten no answers, though I think it must be pretty basic. I'd just google it, but the search terms never come up with the things I am trying to learn.

I'm pretty new to recording, and some MIDI and VSTi stuff seems to be going over my head. I have a VSTi drum machine (the Audiorealism DM), and while I can have figured out how to program beats, I don't know how to get it to record onto Cubase (LE4 mac).

It has options for routing the different instruments (eg. BD to track 1, SD to track 2, etc), but I don't understand where "track 1" and "track 2" actually go. When I set routing, I just don't hear anything. How do I get that sound to go into tracks on cubase? And will a drum machine like this record as MIDI data that I can move around or as a .wav file or something else?

Any help would really be appreciated.

I actually did read the manual. It pretty much leads you how to make tracks using HalionONE, using an external controller. But thanks for the information. I still don't totally understand. To access the drum machine, I create a VSTi track, which I use to program the drums. But the drums don't show up as midi data, since I'm just looking at a step sequencer. How do I get the information on the step sequencer onto a track?

Sorry for the denseness. This stuff doesn't come naturally to me, and I'd way rather just record real drums, but apartment living sucks.
