4.5 Creating Audio Tracks
1. In the upper left corner of the Arrange window, you will
notice several buttons. The third button from the left is
the Add Tracks button. Click this button to bring up the
Add Tracks window.
2. In the Add Tracks window, you can select the number
and type of tracks you’d like to create (Mono Audio,
Stereo Audio, Folder, Instrument, or Automation) and
can customize the track name and color as well as add a
preset rack of effects to the track.
3. Once you have added your tracks, you can assign the
input by simply clicking on the input to which a track is
currently assigned. This will bring up the inputs list. You
can also access the audio I/O setup from here.
4. If you would like to add a track for each of the available
inputs and have the routing automatically assigned,
simply go to Track | Add Tracks for All Inputs.
5. To begin recording, create an audio track, assign it
to Input 1, and connect a microphone to the first
channel on the AudioBox USB. Select Record Enable
on your track in Studio One Artist. Turn up the Channel
1 level while speaking/singing into the microphone.
You should see the input meter in Studio One Artist
react to the input. Adjust the gain so the input level
is near its maximum without clipping (distorting).
6. Connect a set of headphones to the AudioBox
headphone output. If you wish to listen to your
AudioBox USB with studio monitors, make sure to
connect them to the AudioBox‘s Main outputs.
You are now ready to record. For complete
instructions, please consult the Studio One
Reference Manual, which is located on your
Studio One Artist installation DVD.
