RAM Requirements for Recording
Each track on which you record requires a certain amount of RAM, and the memory usage
increases the longer the recording lasts. For each audio channel, 2.4 MB of RAM are required for
MixConsole settings, etc. The memory usage increases with the length of the recording, the
sample rate, and the number of tracks you record. Consider the RAM limitation of your operating
system when setting up your project for recording.
Selecting an Input Bus for the Track
Before you can record on your track, you must add and set up the required input busses and
specify from which input bus the track will record.
PROCEDURE
1. In the Inspector for the audio track, open the Input Routing pop-up menu.
2. Select an input bus.
