I've been using DP for a year or so and I have this problem with mixing instrument tracks. I mostly use SampleTank and ethno instrument. It seems like the only way to bounce out software instruments is to route them to a seperate audio track or aux track, then record it (render it), and then bounce it to disk as an aif. wav. etc... Can DP just bounce out soft synths with out having to record it to a track?
The time consuming pain is when I have a 16 tracks of sampletank that I want to mix separately and 30 of Ethno Instrument. I have to route them all to its own aux track or audio track using seperate buses. Then I have to record them to the track as audio so I can add effects or different reverbs to every track. Then if I want to change some notes I have to go back and re-record the tracks I want to change.
Maybe there is something I don't know and software instrument tracks can be bounced without having to record them as audio first. If this is so please tell me.
I know that Cubase doesn't need to render everytrack before mixing. If you put in an instrument track it is a MIDI front end and an audioback end so effects can be added seperately to software instrument tracks without having to record them all first.
Please help

Well bro, your terminology is a bit confusing, but you can apply effects to whatever audio channels you have running live. I don't record my instrument parts down unless I need the CPU headroom. If you have everything running to separate auxes, of course you can put effects on them. Just create Aux tracks with their inputs assign to whatever busses you are using.

I think he's referring to needing to render all the individual tracks before doing a bounce to disc of the mix.
If that's the case then there's an easy solution;
Don't use the bounce to disc feature.
Instead route all your tracks to a common Aux output and when it comes to mix time create a stereo audio track and record your mix in real time through the "master?" aux and onto that track.
If sample or bit rate needs changing after that do it in the soundbite window using the export feature.
