Recording
Audio recording specifics
• The Browse item in this dialog allows you to browse your disks for created track
presets, which can be used as a basis (or template) for tracks.
This is described in detail in the chapter “Working with track presets” on page 422.
3. Click the Add Track button.
A track is added, set to the specified channel configuration. In the MixConsole, a
corresponding channel appears. You cannot change the channel configuration for
a track.
Selecting an input bus for a track
Here we assume that you have added and set up the required input busses (see
“Setting up busses” on page 27). Before you record, you need to specify from which
input bus the track will record.You can do this in the Inspector or in the MixConsole.
• In the Inspector, you select an input bus on the Input Routing pop-up menu in the
top section.
As described in the section “The Inspector” on page 43, the Inspector shows the
settings for the selected track.
• In the MixConsole, you select an input bus in the Channel Racks section.
If the Channel Racks section is not shown, open it by clicking the “Show Channel
Racks” button on the MixConsole toolbar. See
“Configuring the MixConsole” on
page 179 for more information about the MixConsole.
Recording from busses (Cubase only)
You can also select an output bus, a group bus or an FX channel bus as an Input for
your recording.
Let’s assume you want to create a downmix of separate tracks, e. g. bass drum, hi-
hats, snare, etc.
Proceed as follows:
1. Set up your separate tracks as desired and add a group track.
2. For each of the drum tracks, open the Output Routing pop-up menu and select the
Group track as output.
3. Create a new audio track, open the Input Routing pop-up menu for it and select
the Group track as input for this audio track.
4. Record enable this audio track and start recording.
Now, the output of the group track will be recorded on the new track and you will get
a mix of your separate tracks.
Ö You can also select an FX channel as recording source. In this case, only the output of
the FX channel will be recorded.
For more information about the routing possibilities, see “Setting up the Routing” on
page 190.
