The maximum number of channels recorded depends on the data window where you’re recording. For example, if you enabled six inputs on the Record tab in Audio Preferences, you need to record into a six-channel data window to record all six inputs. If you record to a stereo data window, only two inputs will be recorded. To route inputs to channels in the data window, click a channel number and choose a new input port from the menu. To determine which inputs are recorded, choose a setting from the Channels drop-down list or type a value in the box. For example, you could type 1-4 to record channels 1 through 4, or type 1, 3, 4 to record only channels 1, 3, and 4. |

Use the Threshold Options tab at the bottom of the Record dialog to set the audio levels at which recording will start and stop:
-
Drag the Threshold fader to set the audio level at which recording will begin.
-
Drag the Release slider to set the amount of time the audio level should be below the Threshold setting before recording will stop.
-
Select the Automatically rearm after record check box if you want to continue monitoring audio levels and recording until you click the Stop button
.
-
Click the Arm button in the Record dialog. Recording will begin when the audio signal meets the threshold level and will stop after the level falls below the threshold for the specified release time.
-
Click the Stop button
to stop recording.
-
Click the Close button to close the Record dialog when you’re finished.
On the Advanced tab at the bottom of the Record dialog, select the Prerecord buffer check box and type a value in the edit box to maintain a set amount of time in a buffer when Sound Forge software is armed for recording. A prerecording buffer helps to ensure you won’t miss a perfect take if you’ve set the threshold a bit too high.
When the prerecording buffer is enabled, recording begins when the audio input reaches the threshold level and the sound data in the buffer is committed to disk. For example, if you set a 15-second buffer, recording effectively begins 15 seconds before the input reaches the set threshold level.

Recording Audio Automatically |
|
You can set up recording to begin automatically from the selected input device using a timer, by detecting when audio exceeds a set threshold, or when MIDI timecode is detected.
When you’re using threshold-triggered recording, you can choose to record continuously: set a buffer size, and the recorded audio will fill the buffer, discarding the oldest data as new data is recorded. If you want to save data from the buffer, you can save it to disk.

If you record to a stereo data window, only two inputs will be recorded. To route inputs to channels in the data window, click a channel number and choose a new input port from the menu. |
