Multichannel Recording Preparations

Prerequisite

Set up how the inputs on your audio card are connected to the internal channels of WaveLab Pro.

Procedure

  1. On the transport bar, click Record, or press * on the numeric key pad.
  2. In the File to Create section, select whether to create a named file or a temporary file.

    If you want to create a named file, specify a file name and the location where you want to save the file.

  3. Click the audio format text to open the Audio File Format dialog.
  4. Select the audio file format.
  5. On the Channels pop-up menu, select Multi Stereo/Mono or Multi Mono.

    Multi Stereo/Mono produces single stereo or mono files, depending on the activated channels in the Recording Channels dialog. The channels are logically grouped as pairs (1-2, 3-4, etc.). This governs the mono/stereo status of the recorded files and the tracks they will end up on. For example, if you have activated the channels 1, 2, and 3, one stereo file (containing channels 1 and 2) and one mono file (channel 3) will be created.

  6. Click OK.
  7. On the pop-up menu below the file format, select Add to Selected Track of Montage.
  8. Select an Input.
  9. Optional: Make further settings.
