Recording is basically very easy: Just hit the record button in the Transport Panel at the top of the main window.
Close to that record button, there are 2 little state buttons, 1 for audio and 1 for events (MIDI). These control what you actually record. You can enable audio and event recording at the same time, no problem.
So if you want to record audio, make sure the audio button is on!
Right-clicking the record button pops up the Recording Options dialog.
Here you can define, among others, from which audio inputs you want to record from.
Note that you can only use the audio inputs that you have activated in the main Audio Setup dialog (via the Edit menu).
In the Recording Options you can also choose a Rack to monitor your audio input;
Alternatively this can also be done via a right-click on a Rack's background and choose "Monitor Audio Input".
Of course, be sure to use a Rack where the audio input signal can stream thru. More info on this here.
If you want a metronome during recording, activate the metronome in the Transport Panel.
A new audio recording is always put on a new empty track. You can always move the new recording to another track if you want.
When you have recorded events, e.g. by playing on your MIDI keyboard or tweaking plugin parameter knobs, MU.LAB will check whether there currently is a sequence part selected.
If not, then the new recorded events are put on a new track in a new sequence part.
But if a sequence part is selected, you get these options:
- Merge: The new recorded events are merged into the existing sequence
- New Part: The new recorded events are put into a new sequence
- Overwrite: The new recorded events replace al events in the existing sequence
- Punch: The new recorded events are put into the existing sequence, but in such a way that all existing events that fall in the recorded time area are overwritten, the other events are kept
- Cancel: The new recorded events are trashed
