Recording another track
Now we will record a second track. If your record is still open, please close it. Now perform the
following steps:
1.
Activate the record button in the second track by clicking on the "R" button left of the second track. The
track is now ready for recording.
2.
Right click on the record button in the transport console. You can now enter further record settings. As
we now want to play the first track while the second is being recorded, you will have to activate "Play
while recording".
3.
Click on the record button again.
4.
Now stop the recording at a suitable position by pressing the "Stop" button.
Hint:
"Playback while recording" requires that your sound card can play audio material while recording (full
duplex mode). Some sound cards can either record or play, but can't do both at once. In such a case
you should deactivate "Playback while recording".
Integrate audio material
Now add new, already available audio material. Audio material can be added to your virtual project
from different sources and in different file formats. You can add audio CDs, WAV files, MP3
files, sample CDs (such as the MAGIX Soundpool series), as well as other audio files. There are several
possibilities for loading audio material:

In the menu bar, click "File -> Load/Import -> Load audio file..." and select a file via the import
dialog.

Activate the integrated file browser via the "Manager" button at the lower edge of the screen.
This accesses all drives and folders on your computer. Any audio file can be dragged by holding
the left mouse button to the track (drag & drop).

You can also drag audio files directly from Windows Explorer
®
into the Samplitude Music Studio
15 arrangement.

Audio tracks first have to be copied onto the hard drive separately. To do this, click the top
menu bar in Samplitude Music Studio 15 on "File -> Load/Import -> Load audio CD
track(s)...".
VIP and wave projects
A wave object is created for each audio object that you can see in the arranger. You can generally work
on two project types:
