Preparing the audio input channel for recording
When you enable recording for a track, the track can record from the Default Device channel specified in the Audio
Hardware section of the Preferences dialog box. This dialog box includes the ASIO Settings button (Windows only),
which you use to enable audio inputs connected to the computer. Submix and master tracks always receive audio from
tracks within the sequence, so recording and track input options are unavailable for them.

Record audio from a microphone or another analog source
1
Make sure that you have specified the Input audio device. For more information, see “
Specify the default audio
device
” on page
46.
2
Make sure that the input device (microphone or other audio device) is connected properly to the computer or
sound card.
If recording from a microphone, check the documentation for your computer or sound card to determine whether the
microphone jack is for a monaural or stereo microphone. Use the appropriate microphone for the jack. Noise, the loss
of a channel, intermittent sound, and no sound all can result from plugging a mono microphone into a stereo jack or a
stereo microphone into a mono jack.
3
If recording from a microphone, turn off your computer speakers to prevent feedback and echo.
4
(Optional) If necessary, add an audio track to a Timeline appropriate for the number of channels you will record.
For example, if you’re recording voice with a single monaural microphone, you should record to a mono audio
track. See “
Work with tracks
” on page
138. A track will appear in the Audio Mixer for each track you add to a
Timeline.
5
In the Audio Mixer, click the Enable Track For Recording icon
for the track you added for your audio device.
6
Choose the recording input channel from the Track Input Channel menu.
Note:
The Track Input Channel menu appears after you click the Enable Track For Recording icon.
7
Repeat steps 3 and 4 as necessary if you’re recording to multiple tracks.
8
(Optional) Create a new sequence.
Note:
It’s also possible to record to an existing sequence. Doing so is useful for recording voice-overs. You can record your
voice while watching the playback of the sequence. When you record voice-overs to an existing sequence, it’s good practice
to click the Solo Track icon
in the Audio Mixer for the track that you’re recording to. Clicking the icon mutes the other
audio tracks.
9
(Optional) Select the audio track that you want to record to.
10
(Optional) Adjust the levels on the input device to achieve the proper recording level.
11
Select Meter Input(s) Only in the Audio Mixer panel menu to meter only the sound card’s inputs.
12
Click the Record button
at the bottom of the Audio Mixer to enter Record mode.
