I seem to remember reading a tip about feeding an audio track into another audio track to create a DI track.
I can’t seem to find that article anymore.

Create an audio track as normal and set its input source to the desired input. Now create a second audio track. With its input source settings you will see the first track you just created as an input source option under Tracks.

So the first track will now feed into the second track. You can record on both at the same time. But they will only record the same single input source you set for the first track.

Not sure what you mean about DI track though. If you are wanting to record an instrument say via microphone and a DI at the same time you will need two tracks and each of them will need to be set for its own input source. eg one for the microphone and the other for the DI signal.

Trying to think what I'd do with two audio tracks setup like that...

Could you record two versions of your vocal? One with printed pitch correction, one without?

No that don't seem right, what's the purpose of this setup?

So any fx you put in the first track would be printed to the second track right?

So you wouldn't put your pitch correction in the inputs you would put it on the first track.

Then the second track would record it.

I have to try that. Sometime you get sounds during recording that don't happen on playback.

Phase things with the pitch but when you play it back it's just the corrected version.

My purpose here is to end up with a Bass DI when only an amp track was provided.

I prefer to start with a clean Bass DI and then duplicate it. I then sculpt the sound by adding an amp sim track that is only as dirty as I want it to be, a saturation track and then blend to taste.

Bob Marlette and Warren Huart both have similar workflows that I admire.

For my workflow I can also then keep different plugins chains disabled on each track and experiment with different combinations.

Sounds like a job for the splitter tool.

oh, it doesn't work like this. if you didn't record the bass directly, it's not possible to 'extract' this audio from a processed (amp+speaker+room+mic) track.

in fact, many performers/engineers prefer to record both: amp track has more color, but the DI track has some frequencies that are not present in the amp's track. it's just not there (due to cab and mic frequency response), so you cannot restore the DI track from an amped track.

on the bright side, some engineers do prefer the miked amp tracks, so for some use cases having a miked amp track is okay. if you don't feel like it -- ask the bass player to record in a DI next time (or into DI and amp simultaneously).
