BASIC RECORDING

To make a recording, click the Record button (button with red circle) and begin speaking. When you are finished speaking, click the Stop button (button with yellow square).

Each time you record, a new track will appear in the window (see below). In this example, a single channel (mono) recording is used.

If you click Record again, an additional track will be added:

recording view: two tracks

Note: If multiple tracks have been added, you may need to scroll down or expand the window down to see all tracks.

If you have recorded multiple tracks and wish to listen to only one of them, you may do so by either clicking the Solo button on the track you want to hear or clicking the Mute button on the track(s) you don’t want to hear. A track may be deleted by clicking the X button at the upper left corner of the track.
