Setting Up Audio Outputs

Let us set up an Output to use an Audio port. Later we will assign the Output to configure a track to record audio.

  1. In the Special menu, choose the Modify Outputs and Busses command.

The Modify Outputs and Aux Busses dialog box appears.

  1. Click Add, and check the checkbox below it.

  2. We want to add one Output, so type a one in the field to the right of the checkbox.

  3. In the Port popup menu (to the right of the words “Output on”), choose Audio or Built-in audio controller.

  4. In the Named field, name it “recording test” or something similar. Leave the Channel selection at the default, 1, and click OK to add the Output.

  5. Notice that in the Outputs popup in the Tracks window, there is now an Output called recording test-1. Choose this Output now for a track to get ready to record.

  6. Make sure that the track you selected is record-enabled (with a dot in the 'R' column).

Now you have an audio Output to record with. Proceed on to Your First Audio Recording.
