There is also a way to perform looped punch-in recording. Simply select a range over
the desired punch region. The range is played back until you stop the playback with
the space bar. Each time the program loops through the range, new takes are
recorded at the punch markers. To find the best take after the recording is
completed, use the take manager!
Record options
This menu option opens the "Record" window. All necessary settings for recording
can be entered here. If you don’t need to open the dialog again once it is set, just start
recording using the record button on the transport control, or by clicking the toolbar
icon
Record mode: Select between stereo and mono and if you want to record the audio
into a RAM wave project or to the hard disk as an HD wave project.
Preload: The "Preload" option allows you to load all the buffers before recording
actually begins. This enables an immediate recording once you click the record
button. Otherwise, Samplitude Music Studio 2013 will load the buffers, and depending
on the size of the buffers and the overall computer speed, this may take some time.
Sample rate: Select the audio file's sample rate. Make sure that your sound card
supports the selected sample rate.
Resampling to 44.1 kHz: Some Samplitude Music Studio 2013 versions can perform a
real-time sample rate conversion to 44.1 kHz, if you are recording with a different
sample rate. For example, a DAT tape is often recorded at 48 kHz, but the tape needs
to mastered and prepared for Red Book audio CD processing (44.1 kHz). Samplitude
Music Studio 2013 allows you to automatically convert the audio during the
recording, eliminating the additional sample rate conversion step after the recording.
