Audio Recording : Assigning Hardware I/O on a Track
 
Assigning Hardware I/O on a Track
Before recording to a track, you must specify the input signal path for the material you are recording and the output signal path for monitoring what you are recording. Do this by assigning a hardware input (recording source) and an output (for monitoring recording) on the track.
To assign I/O on a track:
1. Assign a hardware input (recording source) by doing one of the following:
*In the Mix window, select the corresponding hardware input for your source from the track’s Input Path selector.
Input Path selector, Mix window
*In the Edit window, with I/O view enabled, select the corresponding hardware input for your source from the track’s Input Path selector.

2. Assign an output bus (for monitoring recording) by doing one of the following:
*In the Mix window, select the corresponding output for monitoring (such as “Output Analog 1–2” or “Built-in Output 1–2”) from the track’s Output Path selector.

*In the Edit window, with I/O view enabled, select the corresponding output for monitoring (such as “Output Analog 1–2” or “Built-in Output 1–2”) from the track’s Output Path selector.
