Recording Modes

Free Recording

In standalone sessions, recording starts at the playhead position. No context tracks are loaded automatically.

Context Recording

In rotation sessions, intro and outro tracks provide audio context. The voice track is recorded while both context tracks are audible, allowing the presenter to time their delivery.
