Interleaved Recording

You can conduct a multi-channel recording as interleaved recording. This means that an arbitrary number of audio channels are recorded into one wave file.

Here's how you do it:

1. Create the desired number of tracks and do the appropriate input routing by assigning a different hardware input to each track. You can mix mono and stereo tracks as you like.
2. Select all tracks by clicking the track head of the first track and, with the Shift key held down, the track head of the last track.
3. Now choose Track > Insert New Track > New Folder Track from the menu.
4. Now right-click on the record button in the track head of the folder track and choose Interleaved (Foldertrack) from the context menu.
5. Now activate recording in the folder track with a left click on the record button on the track head.
6. Use the record button on the transport console to start recording as usual.

Notes:

• When loading an Interleaved Multi-Channel-Wave a Foldertrack will also be created by default, optionally a surround master will be created. You can deactivate this behavior in the Options for loading audio files".
• Any number of audio tracks can be recorded into an Interleaved file.Loading the file into a folder track with simultaneous creation of a surround master works up to a maximum of 32 tracks.
