the directory in which you'd like it saved. You'll
notice a list of templates on the left. The FireStudio
Mobile template will create a Song with a track for
each of the available inputs. Every track is armed for
recording, and no further setup is required. Simply
select this template and click "OK. "
The rest of this section will guide you through
creating a Song from an empty session.

Templates list. At this point, you should give your
Song a name and select your preferred sample rate
and bit depth. You can also determine the length of
your Song and the time format you would like to use
(Notation Bars, Seconds, Samples, or Frames). Click
the OK button when you are fi nished.
If you plan on importing loops into your Song, you
may want to select "Stretch Audio Loops to Song

in the included content library) will import at the
correct tempo.
