Using Audio in the Arrange Window
Naturally, some of the parameters that can be applied to
MIDI events have no effect on audio signals.
Only regions have the flexible reference point provided by
the Anchor.
The fundamental functions (such as the freely determin-
able position and length, and the ability to name, mute,
and solo) are generally available to all types of objects
(MIDI sequences, regions and Alias objects).
Audio Recording
This section deals with audio recording only. For details
on general preparations before making an audio record-
ing please refer to the relevant sections in the Audio Driver
chapter.
Audio Tracks: Basics
In the preset Standard Song the audio tracks of all tracks
of the hardware are pre-defined (“Audio1” to “AudioX”).
Adjustments to the audio objects can be made directly
from the Arrange window. The Audio Track Parameter
Box is located under the Toolbox. There you can set the
icon of the audio track and the MIDI channel, on which
the corresponding mixer channel receives its MIDI data.
Val determines whether the fader of the corresponding
mixer channel shows its value in dB (−∞ dB to +6 dB) or as
regular MIDI values (0 to 127).
The fields Dev and Cha are essential. Under Dev you must
set the driver of your audio card. Using Cha you deter-
mine, from which channel of your audio card the corre-
sponding track in the Arrange window will be played back.
Normally you don’t need to know this, because your stan-
dard Song is set automatically (as mentioned above). If on
the other hand you create a new audio track via Track >
Create Audio Track, you will have to deal with these set-
tings. The newly created audio track is not equipped with
the “R” switch to record-enable the track (see below). The
reason is that for this new audio track, looking at Cha in
the Audio Track parameter box, no channel of your audio
card has been assigned: Cha is set to “off”. Click-holding
“off” opens a flip menu to assign an audio channel of your
