External Audio Effects Loop

[DrTroutHair]

Hey folks,
I've set up an external audio effects loop to a couple of moogerfoogers (RM and LPF). I've used an 'External Audio Effect' on an audio track called Foogers. All pretty straight forward except I'm not able to record the effect of the moogerfoogers - only the clean sound. The only way I can record the moogerfoogers is to create an additional audio track with the audio in comping from 'Foogers'. Is this the way to go or am I doing something daft with the Foogers track? I'd expected to be able to record direct onto Foogers without having to set up an additional audio track.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions (or ridicule, if appropriate).
Cheers,
Fraser

The way you discribe it is the way I know and use.... Would not know another way then export audio>select only the EXT FX return or so dunno though......
