RECORDING AUDIO CHP. 9
Monitoring recording input with track effects
If you want to hear your recording signal with real-time track effects, you can turn on input monitoring.
Click the
Record Device Selector button ( or ) and choose Input Monitor from the menu. During recording,
your signal will be played back with the current track effects chain, but a dry (unprocessed) signal is
recorded.
Note: Your ability to monitor effects in real time is dependent
on your computer's performance. Effect automation
envelopes are bypassed during record monitoring.
Using input monitoring to record an affected signal
If your sound card includes a mixer application, you can use input monitoring to record a processed signal.
1. Route the track you are recording to a bus. For more information, see Assigning audio tracks to busses on page
140.
2. Route that bus to an unused output channel on your sound card. For more information, see Routing busses to
hardware on page 138.
3. Arm a new track for recording.
4. On the new track, click the Record Device Selector button ( or ) and choose the output channels where
you routed the bus in step 2.
5. When you start recording, the first track will record a dry (unaffected) signal, and the second track will
record the wet (processed) signal.
6. Drag the Vol and Pan faders in the track header to control the level and panning of your input monitor
signal.
