Recording manually
You can record into an existing window or create a new window at the time of recording. If you have an audio device that supports
multiple inputs, you can use Sound Forge to perform multichannel recording.
Tips:
• Sound Forge is not a multitrack editor. Check out our Vegas and ACID families of products for full multitrack recording and editing. You
can use multichannel recording to create surround audio or capture field recordings.
• If you experience gapping or glitching when recording multichannel audio, try increasing your buffer size. You can increase the Record
buffering setting on the Audio tab of the Preferences dialog or click the Advanced button on the Audio tab of the Preferences dialog
to increase your device’s buffers.
