4.1 Recording
The first thing to do when starting to record a track is to add a track with an audio or MIDI file that will
contain the recording. You can do this using the Add Track menu, which also lets you define templates for
tracks.
If the track contains an audio file (like the default .wav format), the track will record audio (using a
microphone or a line input), if it contains a MIDI file (.mid) the track will record MIDI (usually a keyboard).
See the Audio files and MIDI files paragraphs for more information on supported file types.
To record a track you should click its Rec button (it turns red) and start the transport .
If you want to wait a certain amount of time until recording starts (to give you time to walk to the mic for
instance) you can use the Delay Before Recording option.
Recording options
Five buttons at the top of the main window provide access to the most frequently used recording options:
l

l
Mon: Soft Monitoring
l
Punch: Punch In/Out
l
SoS: Sound on Sound recording
l
Clk: Add or modify click track (metronome).

4.2 Audio Recording
If you want to record using a microphone you should connect it to your sound device's Mic input.
Keyboards, mic preamps or mixer outputs should be connected to the Line input.

By default channels are assigned to tracks automatically. This is convenient for home recording. Manual
assignment may be preferred for live recording.

The Input button pops up a list of audio input channels. The input channels of the audio device being used
are assigned to recording audio tracks in order of appearance. I.e., with a stereo device and two mono
tracks the first (upper) track will record the left channel, and the second (lower) track will record the right
channel. The list can be re-ordered using the mouse.
