There are a number of reasons why you might wish to record a track's audio output. One example might be to record the output from an external synthesizer directly onto an audio track. Another might be to record the output generated by a receive from another track.. Here is an example of how you might do this:
- If recording from an external synth, connect the MIDI keyboard to your PC. Make sure it is enabled in your MIDI device preferences. 2. Create a new track. Name it and arm it for recording. Enable input monitoring. 3. From the record arm context menu select Record: output then your required channel options. Most often this is likely to be mono, latency compensated, but options are also available for stereo and multichannel, with or without latency compensation. 4. From the same menu select your required output mode. Available options are post fader (the default), post-fx/pre-fader or pre fx. 5. If recording from an external synth, select Input: MIDI, then select your input device from the menu . 6. Make such adjustments as you might need (e.g. to the synth parameters) while you audition the music. 7. When ready, record. 8. Stop recording when finished.
