Recording start: Set the recording start time in this field. The recording will be controlled
automatically by the internal system clock at the time specified.
Recording length: Specify the recording length in this field. Using "Recording start" and
"Recording length" you have the option of executing timed recordings even when away.
"Recording" is armed as soon as recording has been activated and starts at the set time
for the set length. If no length has been selected, recording continues until the hard disk is
full and then stops automatically.
Record device: Select the sound card driver that should be used for recording in this
dialog. If there is no entry here, or a wrong one, then the card is not installed in Windows
correctly. Use the "Info" button to find out the recording properties of the recording device.
File path: Specify the path to the files where the data should be recorded. Pressing the
yellow folder button opens a query for selecting the path and file name.
Options
Monitoring mode:
Please also read the chapter "System options -> Monitoring settings (view page 28)" for
more details regarding monitoring.
Monitor: Use this button to activate the LED control displays. Please note that the correct
recording device must be selected prior to beginning this. While recording, the LED control
displays move slower, but they nevertheless show each maximum level.
Play while recording: Here you can activate synchronous recording and playing, if
supported by your sound card.
Hint: If you want to record and play over multiple sound cards, small differences may result
during playback of longer passages. This is as a result of sample rates of cards which are
not 100% synchronous. Ideally, you should use the same card for recording as you do for
playback whenever possible. If your card exhibits a delay between the start of recording
and the start of playback, you can balance it out in the "Recording offset" field. To do so,
play a sample with a noticeable impulse and record it using a loop from the sound card's
output to it's input. Zoom into the arranger to a level at which the offset delay can be
recognized.
Create VIP object: Specify via this mode whether or not all recordings should be
integrated automatically into a virtual project. The created objects will be labeled
automatically with the specified object names.
Update object during recording: This object updates the graphical display of the object
while recording.
Read CD/DAT marker: DAT devices and several professional CD players output digital
marker information via an SPDIF output e.g. CD track markers or DAT markers). This
recording option reads this marker information from the SPDIF input of the sound card and
applies it to the VIP, provided that the selected audio device supports this.
