Operation Manual

Recording Audio Clips
Recordings are placed on armed tracks. When a track is armed, it means that it is ready for recording. Just click the
Arm button on a track to prepare for recording.
After clicking the armed button, it should turn red signifying that it is ready for recording.
You should see a level or signal coming in on the track, as shown below.
If you don't see a level or it's not a very strong level, go to the Track section for more on arming tracks and
setting the correct recording source.
Sounds will be recorded at a default CD quality. The recording sound quality can be changed in the Sound Device
Preferences by clicking Preferences from the File menu and clicking on Sound Device.
When you are ready to record, click the record button on the master bar.
The software will start recording and the new sound will be displayed in red.
You can use a recording timer to limit the amount of recording, especially if Mixcraft is running unattended.

Recording Directly To OGG
If you find your hard drive filling up with huge WAV files, you can record directly to OGG files. Recording to OGG will
take up less space on your hard drive. Go to the Recording Preferences, click Compressed Ogg Vorbis (.OGG) and
then choose the desired quality. All new recordings will be in the compressed OGG format.
Recording Timer
You can set a recording timer to automatically record for a specific amount of time and then stop automatically.
To turn on the recording timer, select Use Recording Timer from the Mix menu. Enter in a number of minutes to
record. (If you only want to record 30 seconds, enter 0.5)
To turn off the recording timer, click Use Recording Timer from the Mix menu so that it is no longer checked.
