Depending on how your workstation is set up, it’s possible to simultaneously record to multiple tracks in the Fairlight page at once. How many tracks you can record to depend entirely on what hardware you have available. This section describes the process of recording to tracks in the Fairlight page.
Patching Inputs
Before you can record anything, you need to use the Patch Input/Output window to patch an available audio input to a track. If you’re computer has nothing else, the inputs of your workstation are available to connect whatever audio device is set up as the default audio input on your system to the track you want to record to.
— Choose Fairlight > Patch Input/Output.
— Click the Input menu at the top of the channel strip of the track you want to record to, and choose Input.
The Input drop-down menu lets you open the Patch Input/Output window with that track selected
1 Make sure that the Source menu is set to Audio Inputs, and the Destination menu is set to Track Input.
2 On the right, click the audio input that you want to patch so it’s highlighted.
3 On the left, click the audio destination that you want to patch so it’s highlighted also, if it’s not already. In this simplified example, channel 4 of the ULN is being connected to Audio 4.
