ARMING A MIDI TRACK FOR RECORDING
Arming a track prepares the software to record on that track. To arm a track, click the
track’s arm button. The arm button will turn red. You can also arm the current track
with the key shortcut CTRL+B.
CHOOSING THE MIDI RECORD INPUT
By default, Mixcraft will listen to all MIDI channels (any channel) for each track, letting
you record multiple tracks of virtual instruments at the same time.
Clicking the down arrow on the Arm button lets you select the MIDI input and MIDI
channel the track listens to. For example, if you have two keyboards and want to
record each keyboard on a different track:
1. Set keyboard one to send on MIDI channel 1 and set keyboard two to send on
MIDI channel 2.
2. Click the Arm button on track 1 and select All Input Devices to Receive From
MIDI channel 1.
3. Click the Arm button on track 2 and select All Input Devices to Receive From
MIDI channel 2. You are ready for recording.
