A walkthrough of recording a first track, including checking preferences, using the red record button, and managing multiple tracks with the pause and stop functions.

Step-by-step

  1. Go to Edit and select Preferences
  2. Verify your microphone is selected and sample rates are at default
  3. Click the red circle button to start recording
  4. Click the square button to stop and finalize the recording
  5. Click the red button again to start a second track on the same timeline
