I play some standalone softsynths in Pd, works fine with Loopbe. Tried to record this with Pd, but only the Pd internal instruments are recorded in the file, no external synth. So, how can this be done? Is that possible at all?

Btw, anyone got Jack and Pd running on Windows, Pd doesn't show up, right?

Edit: Its played in a simple patch which gives a sequence a la [metro] - [f] etc which goes to [makenote] and [noteout], that's it. Maybe there's something missing in here...??

Edit: [noteout] is not connected to the [dac~], that's a mistake, right?

You need to route the audio from the synth into Pd somehow. Jack should do it, though I've never used it on Windows. Then you can grab the audio in Pd through [adc~].

Hm, don't know what to do, these synths don't work under Wine and on Windows there's no Pd in Jack, though I'm sure Jack is configured well... What else can be done?

In Win XP), I personally just open up an audio-recorder (WaveLab or Audacity) alongside whatever audio software I am working with, and record into that directly, within the system.

But first, I double-click the volume/mixer icon in my desktop tray, so as to open the computer's full audio-control, where I can tell it what to record, and what not to record.

Yes, that's an option. What I try to do now is sequencing two non-pd synths + samples inside pd at the same time and record it. There are some obstacles. Jack and Pd don't work together here, using Jack right now means no audio from Pd. It sends Midi and this is recorded elsewhere (I use Podium for this). But no audio from Pd. Don't know what's wrong with Jack here.
