Audio record

Inside an open wave editor with an opened wave file, it is possible to record new audio data inside this wave file. The wave file is used as an audio data pool like a canvas, so the recorded data will not exceed the given wave file's length. Select or create a wave file which is large enough to fetch all audio data you want to record.

But first of all, select the relevant audio input device.

This can be done by selecting the 'settings' main-menu item and choosing sub-category 'Wave Editor devices'. There you find the current Wave editor record device in the second lower half.




For working with the wave editor now, it is necessary to set the focus to it. Only then all further toolbar and menu-selections are routed to the wave editor. And of course audio recording is a function targeted to the wave editor. The wave editor gets the focus by clicking inside of it, or clicking it's tab. The wave editor's frame turns to dark (active):



If you want to create a new wave file for recording, click now on the toolbar-button 'new'.

Now let's record:

There are two possiblities to record audio data:

- Record audio 'stand alone', without starting MIDI sequence playback while recording audio

or

- Record audio synchronized to MIDI playback

For a synchronized audio recording just mark the wave editor's checkbox 'Sync to MIDI'.

If you selected a synchronized recording, you can now set the MIDI measure where you want to start to record in the upper MIDI track view.

If you do this, be sure to come back to the wave editor: set the wave editor's focus again, because the MIDI track view got the focus now.

Press the record button now in the toolbar!

Record begins. You see the timeline position moving on by a red line in the wave editor while incomming audio data is recorded. You don't see the data painted on the screen, this is later done when you stop recording, to get best possible performance.



Select the input gain of the incoming audio data inside Windows' mixer menu or at the external recording device. MIDI Locator always records the full incoming signal.

Click on the stop button to stop recording. Click rewind to bring the cursor back to where you started recording and click the play button to hear the recorded data.

You don't need to save the wave file, because MIDI Locator is changing the original wave file in the moment when you change it in the visual wave view. Recording was directly done to it.
