Selecting this as recording device in Audacity should let you record all the channels at once automatically. Some audio interfaces however will display a 'Multi' device. This may mean having to delete silent tracks after recording. You may need to increase the number of recording channels in Audacity preferences (possibly to the maximum supported by the device, even though you are only recording a subset of them), until all you want are included.

Channel selection: You can't select exactly which channels are used - Audacity will simply use the first ones it finds.

The number of channels desired can be selected in the Devices tab of Preferences. Audacity supports recording however many channels the device offers (for example, 24).

Application support: the application you are recording into must support working with multiple channels of audio.

Also, consumer-level systems are not designed to achieve the low latencies and high throughputs needed for high quality multi-channel recordings. This is more problematic that it might seem because the standard sound interfaces for many operating systems were designed long before multi-channel recording was possible, and so only allow for up to two channels of recording.

Driver support: the drivers for the device must make it possible to record more than two channels at once.

You'll need at least a semi-professional device to find support for multi-channel recording.

Most consumer cards only have one stereo pair of ADC's that is switched between various inputs such as Line-In and 'Mic'. Hardware support: you need a sound card or external audio interdace which has enough Analog to Digital Converters (ADC's) to do multi-channel recording.I've set mine up the same, but it still doesn't work.After more digging I found these Audacity details: He has the drop down menu for the inputs on his tracks. A good friend has the UMC404HD too and he's downloaded reaper and set it up on his laptop. I've tried all the display options and they're just not there. Or to take a look at the available options in the Theme Adjuster to show/hide certain elements in the Track and Mixer panels: One option to try is to set the inputs via Right-Click on the Track Record Arm Button instead.Īnother option to try is to make the mixer height and track panel sizes bigger to see if more elements are shown this way. The mixer height and track panel sizes in the 'no input options.jpg' screenshot are currently too small to show all elements like the track input selector (in comparison: the selector boxes in the screenshot are for selecting the record mode options).
