MULTITRACK AUDIO RECORDER
Multiple track recording
EnergyXT allows simultaneous recording of dierent signals on multiple tracks. There are a lot of applica-
tions where you may want to record several musicians at once, may it be in a concert situation or just two
instrumentalists playing in your studio, and thus need the possibility to record multiple signals independently.
EnergyXT smoothly supports this kind of workow and simplies things due to its portability.
Changing the conguration of Audio In Components
When recording on several tracks it is essential that you care about
the routing for each Audio Track beforehand to determine which
input signal reaches what track. By default every audio input pair
of a multi-channel audio interface is represented by an Audio In
Component named [1+2] Audio In, [2+3] Audio In and so on (see
the picture of the Modular view for an audio interface with eight
input channels).
Each of the Audio In Components conducts the two respective
signals (a stereo pair) of your audio interface's inputs by default.
If you only record stereo signals the only thing you have to do is
choose the correct Audio In Component as the input for each Audio
Track in the Sequencer view as described in chapter Routing audio
inputs and outputs" and set the format of the Audio Track to Stereo.
However, if your source signals are of mixed mono and stereo type you have to re-congure the Audio In
Components in the Modular view.
To change the conguration of an existing input Component for mixed mono and stereo applica-
tions:
In the Modular view, choose the entry i. Audio In from the context menu and add the necessary amount
of input Components for each mono input you want to use.
By default the Modular view shows the inputs of your audio interface in groups of input Compo- œ
nents ready for stereo use (e.g. four input Components for eight input channels).
