Description

Records a file with the incoming audio to a specified folder/location.

How to:

-Load the device in a track you want to record

-Set a folder for destination:

-*If the Set was never saved, a pop up windows will ask to set a folder

-*If the Set is already saved, the project folder will be utilised for the recordings

-Hit Rec

-Remember to Stop it (it will go on until your computer runs out of space and it does not care for minimum space settings)

-Alternatively one can toggle the Link Start/Stop to transport function, a file will be recorded with every Start/Stop of the Global Transport

-The file will be named [Track_Name/Main]+[Timestamp].wav so no duplicates

Particularly helpful if one wants to record a live set, while actually using the recording function in Session view so that can record new Clips without stopping the one recording the performance or avoiding to constantly overdub (Global Record). Also good to catch the tails of delays/reverbs and or simply being able to Start/Stop the Transport without stopping the recording.
