[RWP] Using reaper with midi and hardware sounds?

[Tor Tollhag]

That's cool.
At the moment I've figured out how to import midi files from qws and
make them play while in the Project.
However when I try to render the Project there's no audio from the
midi tracks that uses my hardware sounds.
I can add an audio track and select my soundcard input, then I might
be able to record stuff, but then I can only record all the midi
tracks, unless I mute tracks just to record audio, it's a bit of a
mess at the moment.
However if I'm using midi with softsynths the output isn't midi, so I
can render that and hear Everything. Just need to figure out how to
work with midi tracks with midi output where I later want to render
the audio from the Project including them.
Also if I try to add an effect plugin to a midi track it gets silent,
again cause it's not an audio track.
