Record from an input
Select a sample track with no sample loaded. PressCaps Lock, then Space, and a clip outline grows as audio comes in. Press Space to stop and keep the take as a clip.
Choose the input and set its level
OpenSettings → Audio → Input, pick the Input Device and adjust Input Gain until the Input Level meter peaks around −12 dBFS. From the Command Palette, Set Recording Input Gain sets the same gain.
Allow microphone access
On first use, macOS asks for Microphone permission. If you declined, turn Gridshift on inSystem Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone.
Good to know
- Audio recording starts at once, without a count-in.
- Only an empty sample track records audio. If the sample track already has a sample, the same keys record slice triggers instead: Record MIDI.
- Zero-Latency Monitoring does not apply to audio input recording.
- To record the sound of another app, use App Audio Capture.
