Recording automatically
In addition to the normal recording method, Sound Forge also has three automatic recording methods:
Time, Threshold, and MIDI Timecode. These recording methods enable you to trigger recording to begin
from Sound Forge automatically, using a specified device, with no intervention necessary. You can set up
multiple automatic recording sessions to take place at different times, and set a session’s recurrence level for
one time, daily, or weekly. For your recording sessions to take place, the Sound Forge application must be
started and armed for recording.
