Preparing to record
To record from your internal CD/DVD drive or from an external sound source using a
cable/microphone connection, it's important that your sound card is connected to the
sound source. You can check this by switching on the track which you wish to record.
Click the record button in the track header to do this; the button will glow red. The
source's input level peak meter now appears in the bar.
If you can't to see the input level peak meter, check in the track editor (menu "View ->
Track editor" to ensure the sound device is connected to the same port listed under
"Audio -> In". If this is not the case, set the track's input device to the port of the sound
card input of the sound source by clicking "Audio -> In".
If the level is in fact visible as a bar but sound is not yet audible, then make sure that the
output device of the track correlates to the output of your sound card.
If you have selected "Manual Monitoring" as your monitoring mode (Shortcut "Y -> Audio
Setup"), please click on the loudspeaker symbol next to the level display on the track
in order to view and hear the input signal.
Now right click the record button in the transport window.
