Tracking is the rst stage of audio production. The following
chapter discusses aspects of recording tracks in Capture, including
Session creation and setup, Audio Tracks and Events, and more.
Audio Device
Before recording anything in Capture, please take a
moment to be sure your StudioLive mixer is properly
connected to the computer via FireWire and that
Capture displays the StudioLive as your audio device
on the Start page.
When the StudioLive mixer is not connected to the
computer successfully, Capture will display “No Audio
Device” in the Audio Device window.
Creating a New Session
A Session is the document type in which all recording
takes place in Capture. To create a new Session, do one
of the following:
1. From the Start page, click on the
New Session button.
2. Navigate to File/New Session.
3. Press [Ctrl]/[Cmd]+N on the keyboard.
Session Setup
When a new Session is created, a setup menu
with the following options will pop up:
Session Title
This will be the title of your Session. This name will be the
Session le name (Title.Session), as well as the name of the
new folder that contains all data related to your Session.
Session Location
This is where new Sessions and all related data will be saved. The Session
location can be chosen each time you create a Session. By default, the
new Session location will be the Capture folder in your Documents
folder. You can choose a dierent le location by clicking on the Browse
button and browsing to a new location. The last known save location
will appear as the default the next time you create a new Session.
