19 – 522 The Audio Montage
4. On the “Channels” pop-up in the Audio File Format dialog either select
the Multi Stereo/Mono or the Multi Mono option.
Multi Stereo/Mono will produce single stereo or mono files, depending on the activated chan-
nels in the Recording channels dialog. The channels are logically grouped as pairs (1-2, 3-4,
etc.), and this governs the mono/stereo status of the recorded files and the tracks they will
end up on. If you have activated channels 1, 2 and 3 for example, one stereo file (containing
channels 1 and 2) and one mono file (channel 3) will be created.
5. Close the Audio File Format dialog and make sure that the “Add to selected
track of montage” option is activated in the Record dialog.
Recording
1. Set the cursor where you want to start recording and activate Record,
either from the track pop-up menu or the Record dialog.
2. When done, press Stop.
When you record multiple channels, new tracks will automatically be created in the Montage,
one for each mono or stereo clip that is recorded. Each track will be routed to the same out-
put by default, but can be routed to any output used in the current configuration in the Audio
dispatching dialog (see “Assigning tracks to output channels” on page 510).
• If you have activated more than 2 input channels in the Record channels
dialog and select any Channel option except the Multi Mono or Multi Ste-
reo/Mono options, the activated recording inputs will be “mixed” and pro-
duce a single file (or two in case Dual Mono is selected).
If you have set things up this way and activate recording, an alert box will appear, asking you
to confirm the operation.
