Recording on other DAWs (Mac)

If you use Studio One, Garageband, Cakewalk, Reaper, Waveform, Reason or any other DAW not listed in the other tutorials, you're in the right place.

First, choose which method of recording to use depending on your DAW:

1. Simple recording - If you are able to separate the input and output device of your DAW (as shown in image), refer to the Simple recording section.

2. Muse Recording Plug-in - If you are unable to separate the input and output device of your DAW (example below), refer to the Muse Recording Plug-in section.

Simple Recording

• Ensure that Simple recording mode is enabled in settings under the Recording tab in Muse.

• Arm the user whose audio you want to record by pressing R under their name and next to their desired input channel. 

• Head over to your DAW and set Muse Recording as your audio input. 

When you arm a track, you should see a signal coming through from Muse. If you do not see your signal or if there are any issues, try restarting your DAW and trying again.

Once you have a signal coming through, hit record on your DAW as you normally would to capture your artist's performance.

Note: Due to various network conditions, you may experience latency. But sit tight! We are working hard to reduce latency in future versions of Muse.

Muse Recording Plug-In

• Ensure the Simple recording mode is enabled in your Muse settings under the Recording tab.

• In Muse, arm the user whose audio you want to record by pressing R under their name and next to their desired input channel. 

• Head over to your DAW, create an AUX track for your project, and assign an audio input to the AUX track.

Note: This audio input needs to have an audio signal present, or the audio will not be recorded.

• Next, add the Muse recording plugin to the AUX track. This is the only instance of the Muse Recording Plugin you will need for your entire session.

• Check that the plugin says Receiving Audio, then assign the output of the AUX track to a bus.

• Next, create an audio track you want to record on and set the audio track's input to the same bus.

• Arm the audio track, and you are now ready to record as you normally would in your DAW.

Note: The network conditions can affect the recording. There can be some delay, and network blips will also be recorded. Due to various network conditions, you may experience latency. But do not worry. We are working hard to reduce latency in future versions of Muse.
