Preparing to Record
While each track can have a different input, it is also possible for several
tracks to have the same input.
To Choose a MIDI Input in the Track View
1. Click the dropdown arrow of an Input field of a MIDI track (an Input field
has this icon to the left of it: ).
A dropdown menu of MIDI inputs appears.
2. Choose an input from the following:
• None—this option actually sets the Input field to Omni: with this
setting the track will record any MIDI input coming in on any
enabled port (MIDI interface input driver) on any channel.
• All Inputs-(MIDI Omni or MIDI ch 1-16)—with this setting the track
will record any MIDI input coming in on any enabled port (MIDI
interface input driver) on any channel, unless you choose a
particular MIDI channel instead of MIDI Omni. Then the track will
only record input that’s on the MIDI channel you chose.
•(name of MIDI input driver)-(MIDI Omni or MIDI ch 1-16)—
choosing this option causes the track to record any MIDI channel
coming from the named MIDI interface input driver, unless you
choose a particular MIDI channel instead of MIDI Omni. Then the
track will only record input that’s on the MIDI channel you chose,
from the named input driver.
• Preset—if you want to record multiple data from multiple ports and/
or channels, you need to select a preset collection of those ports
and channels. You can select one here (to create presets, see next
line).
• Manage Presets—if you want to create or edit any preset
collections of input ports and channels, you can select this option
(see To Create or Edit a Preset Input Configuration).
To Choose an Audio Input in the Track View
1. Click the dropdown arrow of the Input field of an audio track (an Input
field has this icon to the left of it: ).
A dropdown menu of audio drivers appears.
2. Select the audio driver for the sound card you want to record with from
these options:
• None—This choice ensures that you do not record to the track in
question.
