What happens when you record?

When you click the Start Recording button, all the players in the session see their Record button turn Red Orange and change to Stop Recording.

Any player can stop the recording. When the recording is stopped, a file window opens for each user, showing the folder in which the recordings have been stored. 

Things to note:

  • Each player's recordings are saved in that player's selected format.
  • Each player's recording folder contains one file for each of that player's audio tracks, one file for each of the other players, and a stream mix.
  • The player's files for their own audio tracks are in the highest resolution allowed by the specified file format. See Choosing an audio recording format below.
  • The files for the remote players are stored at "stream resolution", Even if the selected format is an uncompressed format, the quality of the files is stream-quality at best.
  • If you would like to create a mix from the recorded files with the best possible resolution, each user should select an uncompressed format, and send the files for their own local tracks to the person creating the mix.

Choosing an audio recording format

You can choose an audio recording format in the following ways:

  • From the recording window. Only the user starting the recording can do this, and the format is chosen only for that user. Other users' recordings are saved in the currently select format on their machines.
  • From the Manage menu at Manage > Audio Settings >Audio Settings > Audio Recording Format.
