This has been possible since R7 when the EMI was introduced. But since the audio is generated by a device outside Reason (i e Kontakt in your case) and inside your computer, you have to figure out a way to route the audio from Kontakt back into Reason using some kind of audio loopback device.

On Mac, one way of doing this is using a free app called Soundflower. Some audio cards (for example the Focusrite Saffire series) also have built-in loopback channels that you can use.

Note that we're talking about a "real-time bounce" here, i e you play back the song as usual and record the input "live".

Thanks Buddard

Yes that's the way I am currebtly achieving it, however it would be nice if it all could be completed with a click of a button, but I had a feeling it wasn't achievable
