ONCE YOU'VE GRASPED THE BASICS YOU'LL FEEL LIKE YOU'VE BEEN USING THE SYSTEM FOR YEARS. ‘The main thing to realise is that Record supports audio playback and houses a fly featured analog ue-modeleg console.

For many people this was the motive to upgrade or ‘migrate, and the Props’ integration ofthe feature i slick to say the least. On opening Record forthe ist time the ‘main thing to strike you isthe large hardware-style Console. This device fs capable of housing numerous Inserts per channel and eight effects send and returns. “The main console can aiso process your recorded ‘uci and it's this audio capability that really makes a diffrence. On opening the rack and creating your fst uo channel you'l ee thatitlooks lke an actual device ‘and that it conesponds wih the channel that is also Created inthe console tis this relationship between the rack and console devices that is important to grasp. All your routing and most of your insert work wil take place inthe rack object. ‘Alterations to the channe!’s level, pan, dynamics and ‘equalsers wil take place on the console. Tis may seem 2 litle complex at fst but the freedom this system allows 's second to none and is well worth sticking with. The rack-mounted audio devices are identical t those used toroute Records instruments and are routed automaticaly othe channel sips in the console, and ‘there are several connections on the rear ofthe rack ‘module that alow aterative routings, EL For instance, there isa section to alow a key input for creating sidechain compression setups.

The key in-out is ‘activated by an lluminated LED. There are also direct ‘outputs on every channe-based device in the rack. These allow you to break internal outing and send the channels ‘uc to any destination you want to. This is extremly Useful for Rewire-based setups. The channels ausio can bbe sent straight to the hardware interface and uitimately to1another DAW for further processing. ‘These channel strip devices are eal just CCombinators in disguise.
