14. Recording

14.1 How It Works

The FOH stereo mix is always recorded whenever you press Record. When Multitrack is enabled in Settings → Recording, individual device input channels and record-enabled file tracks are also saved as separate mono files alongside the FOH mix.

14.2 Configuration

  1. Go to Settings → Recording
  2. Choose the format (WAV or MP3)
  3. Optionally enable Multitrack to also record individual channels
  4. In the Files section, enable the "Record" checkbox for file tracks to include in multitrack
  5. Click Apply

14.3 Recording

  1. Press the Rec button (●) in the header (Engineer) or in the Stage view
  2. If you are seeking to a position other than the start, a 2-bar pre-roll will play
  3. During pre-roll the Rec button appears semi-transparent red
  4. Actual recording begins after the pre-roll
  5. Press Stop (■) to finish

14.4 Output Files

Recorded files are saved to:

~/ESTE/songs/{song-name}/recordings/

File naming: {timestamp}_{name}.{ext} — the FOH mix uses the song name, individual channels use their channel names.

Examples:

  • FOH mix: 20260306143000_Live Set.wav
  • Multitrack channels: 20260306143000_Vocals.wav, 20260306143000_Guitar.wav

14.5 Notes

  • The FOH stereo mix is always recorded (both with and without Multitrack)
  • Recording does NOT capture audio during pre-roll
  • Pre-roll lasts 2 bars at the current tempo
  • Panic automatically stops recording
