Record and Solo
If the selected output is LR (
and the iPad is attached to the mixer
), a record button resides
below the master fader. This allows you to easily record the LR output on the iPad.
Record is unavailable in Wi-Fi mode.
Pressing record will begin recording immediately. The record button illuminates
red when engaged and is gray when disengaged.
Pressing the button a second time asks you to confirm your wish to stop the recording, then asks
you to name this masterpiece. If you would prefer to think this recording never occurred – it happens,
we know – it may be discarded at this point.
The stereo recording is automatically saved as a .wav file within the application. In addition to the
name, this .wav file also includes the date and time the recording started.
No worries if the selected output is changed during recording.
Recording will continue on as if nothing happened until recording is stopped manually.
Master Fader supports background recording. This means that you may press the iPad’s
home button to leave the app or switch to another app while Master Fader continues to record.
So go ahead and check your email or tweet about the show to your heart’s content.
Generally speaking, master fader can be used for recording while other audio apps are used
for playback. Because every app is different, testing your desired combination of apps before
using them on a mission critical show is strongly suggested! Also, you should NOT record in
multiple apps simultaneously; strange things might happen with the recorded files.
