Multi Channel Recording - Channel “Any”
● Multi channel recording can be used on any system but is most useful to
those with cards with more than two inputs.
Why record on an Any Track?
A single “Any” Track can contain recordings on multiple channels. In fact one
Track can contain mono recordings on as many channels as the system supports.
Let’s say that you are recording a drum kit on four channels: a stereo mix of the en-
tire kit, plus two separate channels for bass drum and snare (provided your card can
record four simultaneous inputs). If you use an “Any” Track for this recording you
will be able to record all four channels onto one Track and subsequently handle all
four as one entity. This simplifies editing in the Arrange window and in the Audio
editor.
Performing a Multi Channel Recording
1. Connect and set up the audio sources as desired.
2. Create an Audio Track to record on.
3. Open the Inspector for the Track and set it to channel “Any”.
A number of Record Enable buttons appear. Exactly how many depends on
the number of audio channels in your audio recording system.

• There is also a group of Monitor buttons in the Inspector, as many as
there are audio channels.
These work just like the Monitor button for a single channel Track, allowing
you to manually turn monitoring on and off for each audio channel.
● If stereo inputs are used, a maximum of two audio channels - one odd, one
even - can be monitored at once. If you for example are monitoring a channel
with odd number, and click on another odd-numbered channel button, mon-
itoring will be deactivated for the first channel.
