Propellerhead RECORD

Record gives you unlimited audio tracks, world class effects and mixing gear, and a whole new take on music recording. With an intuitive, straightforward interface and a hands-on approach to capturing performances, Record was designed for musicians–not audio engineers. This is recording done right.

Highlights in Record

Propellerhead Record combines recording and an ultra high-class mixer console with a limitless rack of audio processing gear that can build itself or be tweaked to your heart’s content.

To help you arrange your tracks in a smooth, effortless way, Record comes with a fast and flexible sequencer. Immediate and intuitive, Record's sequencer puts you in control of your arrangements, letting you move and edit parts as you go along, while Record’s comping editor lets you effortlessly edit your takes into the single best performance.

Record’s software mixer's sound is faithfully modeled after* the legendary SSL® 9000K hardware. Flexible routing, full dynamics, EQ, advanced effects handling, full automation and a 64-bit mix bus gives you that big studio sound.

For guitarists and bassists, the built-in virtual POD® from Line 6, Inc. brings a wide range of top-quality guitar amps, bass amps and a great collection of cabinets.

With its state-of-the-art dynamic multicore audio handling, Record will use your computer's processing power to its fullest, so you’ll never have worry about track counts or adding that extra reverb or delay.

About Record
Recording music is all about seizing the moment. Capturing a perfect performance–or even nailing that idea before it goes away–requires tools that are ready when you are. Record is always ready. Created with musicians in mind, Record lets you create record-ready channels in an instant, minimizing the steps between idea and actual recording. The result equals more music–and less dialog boxes. Simply plug in, breathe out and you're ready to go.

All the instruments, processors and effect units used in a song are housed inside Record's customizable rack. Any device created is automatically and logically patched into the rack, but if you're feeling adventurous or need to do some routing of your own, just flip your entire Record rack over and all the cables are all yours!

Your Record rack can be stacked with an infinite number of reverbs, distortion units, delays, dynamic processors, mastering EQs–everything you need to shape and color your sounds. Click and drag effects straight to the rack, or load any of the expertly crafted patches.
To help you arrange your tracks in a smooth, effortless way, Record comes with a fast and flexible sequencer. Immediate and intuitive, Record's sequencer puts you in control of your arrangements, letting you move and edit parts as you go along.
Record’s sequencer also takes care of your MIDI performances, for use with the build in ID-8 instrument or for controlling Reason instrument and devices when Record is paired with Reason. Every thinkable knob, button or fader can be automated with ease, and then edited and fine-tuned in the sequencer.

Finally, all your sounds will end up in Record's main mixer. This mixing console's sound and signal processing was faithfully modeled after* the legendary SSL 9000k analog mixing desk. Flexible routing, full dynamics, EQ, advanced effects handling, full automation and a 64-bit mix bus gives you that big studio sound right out of your computer. And yes, you do get that master-bus compression.

For guitar and bass players, Record comes installed with separate guitar and bass POD® units from amp- and cab-simulation experts Line 6, Inc. With bass and guitar amplifiers available for every single track in your Record project, you are never short of interesting tones and timbres. As the Line 6 amplifiers are insert effects and don't affect the original instrument signal, you are free to change your amplifier and cabinet settings at any point in time–even after laying down your track. Additional models can be added to the virtual POD units by connecting a Line 6 interface, including POD Studio™, POD® X3 and more, to your computer!

To help you complement your recorded material, Record also comes with multi-instrument ID8–a songwriter's toolbox. ID8 ships with a wide palette of sounds useful for building a steady foundation for your tracks, like pianos, drums, bass, strings and more.
As a perfect performance may be less than perfect from scratch, Record features a swift and easy to use comp editor. Building the ultimate vocal track is as simple as selecting the parts that work and muting the ones that don't. Exit the comp editor and listen to the results; a perfect take containing only the good parts.

Record has a unique twist on the concept of time and tempo. Record's real-time time stretch lets you play now and pick the tempo later; change the song tempo and all your audio tracks will follow right along without any need for pre-processing of any kind. Need to slow your song down to nail a tricky passage? No problem. Just reduce the tempo, record your performance and bring the tempo back up.

Propellerhead Ignition Key

Propellerhead products have used various types of copy protection over the years. In Record, the copy protection is based on a USB device called the Propellerhead Ignition Key.

Record can be launched in three modes: Demo Mode, Authorized mode and through Internet Verification.
Demo Mode

If you have neither the Ignition Key nor is able to use Internet Authorization, you can launch the program and select "Run in Demo Mode". In Demo Mode, you can work without time restrictions - and even save your creations to disk. That's right. You can SAVE in Demo Mode. The only thing you can't do without authorizing Record using the Key or over the Internet, is to open your saved files.
Ignition Key Verification

The simplest way to run Record in Authorized mode is to have your Propellerhead Ignition Key connected to your computer.
Internet Verification

If you don't have your Ignition Key at hand, you are given the option to use Internet Verification instead. This means that the program communicates with the Propellerhead server. Just enter your Propellerhead user name and password when launching Record, and the program is authorized over the Internet. Should your connection go down while working, the program will not even flinch. Record will automatically go over into Demo mode, letting you continue recording, editing, mixing – and, of course, saving your work.
