Multi-channel recording?

Post by SQLGuy » Wed Dec 27, 2017 2:03 pm

I would like to record Quadraphonic audio. I have a Behringer UMC404HD four-channel ADC. It is recognized by Audacity, but the meters only display L&R. Is there a way to enable four channels of meters?

Thanks,
Paul

Audacity multichannel Recording.

I don't have a multi-channel interface and I've never tried it, but my impression is - You're probably better off with a "real" multi-track DAW.

With the Behringer purchase you can download Tracktion:
