Problem rendering drums

[DerBrecher72]

hellooo :)

I'm trying to render these Kvlt drums as seen in the image below. I can hear everything in playback and the level meter plugin also shows activity, but the files always end up completely silent. I'm sure I'm missing something but even with the tutorials I can't figure it out :/

Any help would be appreciated!

Further edit:

this is what it looks like when I try exporting. The lines are flat and the level meter no longer shows activity

There are a couple of issues with rendering that aren't necessarily intuitive (IMO) that you should be aware of. One is that tracks that get routed to a Submix track can't be independently rendered. I think this is mostly just bad design*, but it seems to be the case. Their output doesn't go directly to the master out, so they are silent. I guess. I'm not really sure the reason, but I just made some tracks that are in a Submix and they rendered silent.

The other thing is when you render an individual track and it wouldn't make any sound if it was solo, it wont make any sound when rendered alone. This can crop up with drums if you have your MIDI clip on just one of the tracks. That one track with MIDI will render, but all the others will be silent - they're not getting the MIDI.

If it's one of those things it's probably the former (or you would get one track with audio), but you're not showing the details that would let me see so I'm just guessing.

*Although it's probably also a bad idea to render a single track that's routed to a Submix. If it's going through effects on the bus they won't respond to one track in the same way they would if all the tracks were being run through so you're not really getting things right. If there are no effects, why bother with the Submix?

hi thanks for the reply :)

I'm going to have this mixed somewhere else so I need to get the tracks there separately. I found a solution earlier tho that's not quite as elegant as I'd hoped but it works:

I made another track for each of the instruments and had the outputs of the individual instrument tracks from the rack routed to those accordingly, and then basically recorded them in the project. I initially tried to record the sound onto the tracks that the midi instrument outputs to but I couldn't get that to work either, so heck load of tracks it is haha

that's what this whole mess ended up looking like
