No audio recorded with Vocoder V in Logic Pro X

Ok, dumb question, but hey the manual says nothing about this and the in-plugin "tutorial" only talks about audio input:

1. I create a new Software Instrument, set it to Vocoder V. Fine. That works.
2. I set the sidechain audio input to come from the microphone. Fine, that works.
3. I record a test.
4. I play it back. All I see is a flat, empty MIDI track, and there is no audio.

The manual is silent as to how to capture the audio. So, dumb question time: do I route the output of this MIDI track to a bus, say Bus 5, and then route Bus 5 as the input into a new Audio track? Is that how this all works? How do I actually capture the "Vocoded" audio on a track?

Hello.

Yes the DAWs instrument track does'nt record audio. An audio track need to be created to record theputput, and then route the the audio from the instrument track into that. How this is done is about hoe your DAW work. It's not about Voceoder V. I assume you can use a bus in your DAW, unless there is a smarter way to do it, like selecting the output from the Vocoder instrument track as input for the audio track you wish to record on.

Thanks. I suspected this was the case. I set up an audio track, did the bus thingie, and it's starting to work.
