Setting Recording Level On Vista With WaveRT
If you are using Window's Vista and are using the WaveRT drivers, right click on the speaker icon on the lower
right area of your desktop. (The speaker icon should be to the left of the time display). Right click on the speaker
icon and click on Recording Devices. Select the recording device that you wish to record and then click
Properties. Click on Levels from the pop up window. Move the slider to the appropriate level. You can keep this
window open and try a test recording in Mixcraft. Adjust as necessary.
Recording Multiple Tracks At A Time
You can arm multiple tracks at the same time if your sound device supports it. In this way, you can record an
entire band in real time, with each recording on it's own separate track. Just keep in mind that you will need to use
the arm chooser button as described in the above section to choose the correct input for each track.
Tip: You can set up a project with the correct inputs and armed tracks for your band and then save it as a project
template. The next time you record your band, simply load the template and everything will be ready to record!
Monitor Your Input
You can hear yourself with effects by turning monitoring on. More on monitoring.

Monitoring
"Oh, how I love to hear myself louder!" - Some overjoyed musician.
Some sound devices allow you to hear what you are recording. Most USB microphones do not automatically allow
you to hear what you are recording, though. To hear or 'monitor' a track, click the arm recording selector button
followed by clicking Monitor Incoming Audio.
We recommend that you use headphones in order to avoid feedback.
One caveat to this is that you must set your sound card to mix with a low latency, otherwise it will sound like an
echo chamber and the sound could be delayed by seconds. You can go into the preferences and try ASIO mode,
if available, or reduce the buffer size to 4096 or 2048 and reduce the number of buffers to 2 or 3 in Wave mode.
The down side to reducing your buffers and buffer size is that you may hear gaps in the audio, depending on your
sound card and computer speed.
Hearing Effects In Real Time
If you add effects, you will also hear the effects on a track if monitoring is on. The effects are not recorded and you
can change them or remove them later, without affecting the recording.
Freeze Track
If your computer is slow or audio is starting to gap or stutter because of a lot of effects or time stretching, you can
freeze a track to reduce the amount of processing the track needs. After freezing a track, the software uses a
temporary WAV file that includes all effects and audio.
You cannot edit the effects or sounds on a track until you Unfreeze the track. ( Dragging a new sound on to a track
will unfreeze a track ).
If you want to lock a sound, go here.
To freeze a track, go to the Track Details Tab, select the track you'd like to freeze and then click the Freeze
button.
