Setting the Audio Record Folder
Each Cubase project has a project folder containing an Audio folder. By default, this is where
recorded audio
les are stored. However, if needed, you can select record folders independently
for each audio track.
PROCEDURE
1. In the track list, select all tracks to which you want to assign the same record folder.
2. Right-click one of the tracks to open the context menu.
3. Select Set Record Folder.
4.
In the le dialog, navigate to the folder that you want to use as the record folder or create a
new folder by clicking New Folder.
If you want separate folders for different types of material (speech, ambient sounds, music,
etc.), you can create subfolders within the project Audio folder and assign different tracks
to different subfolders. This way, all audio
les still reside within the project folder, which
makes managing the project easier.
Getting the Track Ready for Recording
Before you can record audio, you must add a track and set it up.
Adding a Track and Setting the Channel Conguration
To record audio, you must add an audio track and set up its channel conguration. The channel
conguration of the track determines the channel conguration of the recorded audio le.
PROCEDURE
1. In the global track controls area of the track list, click Add Track .
2. Click Audio.
3. In the Count value eld, select the number of tracks that you want to add.
4. Open the Conguration pop-up menu, and select a channel conguration.
5. Optional: In the Name eld, enter a track name.
6. Click Add Track.

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.
