subsequent editing of the sound material remains at a minimum. On the other hand, the
higher the bit resolution, the more space that is required.
Now specify if the track should be recorded in mono or stereo. While a stereo recording
mode is usually selected for CD/DVD recordings, you should consider whether it would be
better for single instruments, like bass or guitar, to be recorded as mono tracks in order to
improve future sound editing and the adaptation of the instrument into the mix. In "Mono
(Mix)" mode, the track input is switched to mono, whereby the signal is gripped like in
stereo recordings as two channels and then mixed into one channel.
Detailed information about the recording options can be found under "Menu Playback ->
Recording options (view page 637)"
Balance adjustment
Click the "Visualization" button under the recording information display. There are various
functions available here to aid optical orientation. Select "Setup -> Peak meter". If there is
no visual display of levels is shown, then press the "Monitor" button under "Options" in the
recording dialog. You should now be able to see a signal.
Note: Direct the input signal to your external amplifier/your sound card's input in such a
way that the peak meter is as close as possible to 0db, but doesn't quite reach this value.
The recording starts from the current position of the play cursor. If you wish to record from
the fifth beat (for example), place the play cursor to the beginning of the fifth beat. To do
so, open the project options under "View -> Snap and grid setup" (shortcut: "I") and check
the "Snap to", "Grid/Bars" and "Show grid" boxes. In the selection menu, select
"Bars/Beats" as the grid unit and confirm this by clicking "OK".
Now you can see the grid lines in the VIP. These divide up the project window and the grid
list now shows the bars. Switch the display in the transport window to "Bars/Beats". Since
"Bars/Beats" is selected as the grid unit, you can easily use the left/right arrows on the
keyboard to jump to the beginning of the fifth bar. Simultaneously, you can read the bar
and beat position in the play cursor of the transport window.
If you click on the "Record" button now, recording will start. As soon as you have recorded
enough, press the stop button. You will be asked if you wish to save your recording. If you
are happy with the results, press "OK".
