Test the input levels by playing a selection from the analog source, or by having the narrator speak into the
microphone. Watch the Audio Mixer level meters to ensure that the input levels for record-enabled tracks are high
but not clipping.

(Optional) When you finish testing, deselect Meter Input(s) Only in the Audio Mixer panel menu to meter the
project’s audio tracks also.

Click the Play button
to start recording.

If necessary, adjust the track volume slider up (louder) or down (quieter) as you record to maintain the monitor
level you want.
The red indicators at the top of the VU meters light up if the audio is clipped. Make sure that the audio level isn’t loud
enough to cause clipping. Generally, loud audio registers near 0 dB, and quiet audio registers around -18 dB.

Click the Stop icon
to stop recording.
The recorded audio appears as a clip in the audio track and as a master clip in the Project panel. You can always select
the clip in the Project panel and rename or delete it.
