Recording automatically
In addition to the normal recording method, there are three automatic recording methods: Time, Threshold, and MIDI Timecode. These
recording methods enable you to trigger recording to begin automatically, using a specified device, with no intervention necessary,
using a timer, by detecting when audio exceeds a set threshold, or when MIDI timecode is detected.
When you’re using threshold-triggered recording, you can choose to record continuously: set a buffer size, and the recorded audio will
fill the buffer, discarding the oldest data as new data is recorded. If you want to save data from the buffer, you can save it to disk.
You can set up multiple automatic recording sessions to take place at different times, and set a session’s recurrence level for one time,
daily, or weekly. For your recording sessions to take place, the Sound Forge application must be started and armed for recording.
Triggering by time
1.
Click the Record button ( ) on the transport bar, or press Ctrl+R. The Record dialog appears.
2.
From the Method drop-down list, choose Automatic: Time.
3.
Choose the destination data window for your recording. By default, the software records into the active data window. If this is not
where you want to record, use one of the following methods to prepare for recording:
If Then
You want to record into a different data window Click the Window button and choose a data window from the Record destination
window drop-down list. Click OK to return to the Record dialog.
You want to record into a new window Click the New button in the Record dialog and specify the attributes (sample rate,
bit depth, and channels) for the new file. Click OK to return to the Record dialog.
Note:
The maximum number of channels recorded depends on the data window where you're recording. For example, if you enabled
six inputs on the Record tab in Audio preferences, you need to record into a six-channel data window to record all six inputs. If you
record to a stereo data window, only two inputs will be recorded.
To route inputs to channels in the data window, click a channel number and choose a new input port from the menu.
To determine which inputs are recorded, type a value in the Channels box. For example, you could type 1-4 to record channels 1
through 4, or type 1, 3, 4 to record only channels 1, 3, and 4.

From the Mode drop-down list, choose a recording mode. For more information, see Choosing a recording mode on page 141.
