I'm guessing that audio export is available if one has audio (as
opposed to midi) tracks in RG. Is that correct? Or is there an audio
export option somewhere deep in the menu-structure of RG?

This is yet another sense of "record", I'm afraid. I didn't record
_into_ RG; I recorded _with_ RG (in the "push that red button and
play" sense). I don't think RG has any audio data at this point
(though I may be wrong), it just drives qsynth and hydrogen. (I did
connect qsynth's and hydrogen's outputs to RG's input, but that
doesn't seem to make any difference.)

Cute!

Thanks,
