ACID® software can record audio into multiple mono or stereo audio tracks while simultaneously playing back existing 
audio and video tracks. You are limited only by the performance of your computer system and audio hardware. Audio is 
recorded to a media file on your computer and into an event on the timeline. You may record into an empty track, a time 
selection, an event, or a combination of time and event selection. Audio output from your computer during recording is 
not necessarily recorded with the new audio. 

Recording does not alter any of the source media files in your project. Even when recording into an existing event, you 
are not overwriting the data in that event. Instead, the data is recorded into a new take for that event and saved to a 
media file on your hard drive.

There are numerous ways to connect your equipment to your system. Refer to your equipment’s documentation for 
specific setup instructions. The following are some possible general configurations. 

This setup includes a simple microphone and speaker that are connected to the computer’s sound card. With a more 
sophisticated microphone, you would typically want to use a preamplifier for input to the sound card.

This setup includes a mixer where the speaker and microphone connect. The mixer is then connected to the computer’s 
sound card. Mixers usually have preamps built into them. This diagram does not show you an instrument or a physical 
preamplifier, such as a rack-mounted component. The reason for this omission is because these types of setups vary 
widely based on your mixer, instrument, and pre-amp type. Refer to your components’ documentation for specific setup 
configurations.
