RAM Requirements for Recording
Each track on which you record requires a certain amount of RAM, and the memory usage
increases the longer the recording lasts. For each audio channel, 2.4 MB of RAM are required
for MixConsole settings, etc. The memory usage increases with the length of the recording, the
sample rate, and the number of tracks you record. Consider the RAM limitation of your operating
system when setting up your project for recording.
Selecting an Input Bus for the Track
Before you can record on your track, you must add and set up the required input busses and
specify from which input bus the track will record.
PROCEDURE
1. In the Inspector for the audio track, open the Input Routing pop-up menu.
2. Select an input bus.

Recording Audio
You can record audio using any of the basic recording methods.
When you finish recording, an audio file is created in the Audio folder within the project folder.
In the Pool, an audio clip is created for the audio file, and an audio event that plays the whole clip
appears on the recording track. Finally, a waveform image is calculated for the audio event. If the
recording was very long, this may take a while.
