Choose Transport > New Recording to create a new recording.
If you want to record into an existing sound file, please see "Recording into an existing sound file."
Choose Transport > New Recording (or click the New Recording button on the toolbar).
Choose Create new window from the Mode drop-down list on the General tab of the Record tool if you want to create a new file each time you restart or resume recording. For more information, see "The Record tool."
Use the New Sound File dialog to specify the parameters for the new file:
Choose a sample rate from the Sample rate drop-down list.
Choose a setting from the Bit depth drop-down list to specify the number of bits that should be used to store each sample.
Choose a setting from the Channels drop-down list to specify the number of channels that will be used in the window.
Click OK. A new, untitled sound file is created, and recording begins.
If you want to use the same settings when you create new files, you can select the Use these settings for all new files check box or use the Use default settings for new files check box in the Preferences dialog.
If you want to check your input levels during recording, you can use the meters in the Record tool. For more information, see "The Record tool".
The peak meters represent the volume of the recording input. For best results, the peak level should be somewhere in the yellow range with an occasional red segment: you want your input to be as loud as possible without clipping.
