Record audio from a microphone or another analog source
1. Make sure that you have specified the Input audio device. For more information, see Specify the default audio device.
2. Make sure that the input device (microphone or other audio device) is connected properly to the computer or sound card.
If recording from a microphone, check the documentation for your computer or sound card to determine whether the microphone jack is
for a monaural or stereo microphone. Use the appropriate microphone for the jack. Noise, the loss of a channel, intermittent sound, and
no sound all can result from plugging a mono microphone into a stereo jack or a stereo microphone into a mono jack.
3. If recording from a microphone, turn off your computer speakers to prevent feedback and echo.
4. (Optional) If necessary, add an audio track to a Timeline appropriate for the number of channels you will record. For example, if you’re
recording voice with a single monaural microphone, you should record to a mono audio track. See Work with tracks. A track will appear in
the Audio Track Mixer for each track you add to a Timeline.
5. In the Audio Track Mixer, click the Enable Track For Recording icon (“R” icon) for the track you added for your audio device.
6. Choose the recording input channel from the Track Input Channel menu.
The Track Input Channel menu appears after you click the Enable Track For Recording icon.
7. Repeat steps 3 and 4 as necessary if you’re recording to multiple tracks.
8. (Optional) Create a new sequence.
It’s also possible to record to an existing sequence. Doing so is useful for recording voice-overs. You can record your voice while
watching the playback of the sequence. When you record voice-overs to an existing sequence, it’s good practice to click the Solo Track icon
(“S” icon) in the Audio Track Mixer for the track that you’re recording to. Clicking the icon mutes the other audio tracks.
9. (Optional) Select the audio track that you want to record to.
10. (Optional) Adjust the levels on the input device to achieve the proper recording level.
11. Select Meter Input(s) Only in the Audio Track Mixer panel menu to meter only the sound card’s inputs.
12. Click the Record button at the bottom of the Audio Track Mixer to enter Record mode.
