Can I set and recall recording preferences in 1 click

Post by cnz » Fri Jun 29, 2012 6:14 pm

Is it possible to set up a set of recording preferences (for example, external microphone, levels, 2 track-stereo,etc.) then save all these settings as a unit, so that I can quickly switch between several different types of set-ups without having to individually change each one separately.

For example:
"Concert Band" [2 track stereo, external mic, levels set at 5]
"Soloist" [1 track mono, internal mic, level set at 3]

Thank you for any advice.

No there isn't, but it should only take 2 seconds to set those using the Device Toolbar and Mixer Toolbar.

Thanks, I was looking for something for young students to use... just trying to make it as easy as possible.
