Activating Recording - PRESONUS AudioBox Stereo Quick Start Manual

If you select the Instrument Input Follows Selection option in the Options menu, any
Instrument Track you select will automatically have Monitor and Record enabled, and all other
Instrument Tracks will have these disabled.
5.2.10 Monitoring an External Instrument
To monitor and record the hardware audio output of an external instrument, one or more
Audio Tracks need to be created to receive that output. This means that your external
instrument needs to be physically connected to one or more inputs on your audio interface.
Thus, monitoring an external instrument involves the following:
• The output of an Instrument Track is routed to the external instrument, which has
been set up to receive MIDI input from Studio One.
• The Instrument Track is monitor-enabled.
• One or more Audio Tracks have been created and configured to use the Input
Channels to which the external instrument's audio output is connected.
• The Audio Tracks are monitor-enabled.
With the above conditions met, you will be able to play your Keyboard and see the Instrument
Track meter moving. You will also see the related Audio Track meters moving, as well as hear
the live audio input from the external instrument.

Activating Recording

Once you have the desired tracks created, setup, and record-enabled, the next step is to
record. The following illustrates several ways to activate recording, each associated with a
different purpose.
5.3.1 Manually
Manually activating recording is the most basic way to record. Recording will start at the
current playback-cursor position and will continue until you manually stop recording. To
manually activate recording, click on the Record button in the Transport or press [NumPad*]
on the keyboard.
The Record button in the Transport will turn red, the playback cursor will start to scroll from
left to right, and a new Event will be recorded to any record-enabled tracks. Recording will
continue until you manually stop it.
