Description

Enhancement Summary

It would be very useful being able to record multiple inputs, ex: mic + guitar and being able monitor them from the mixer channels instead, FL studio like.
It would be more useful and practic having the audio-recording section in the mixer channels instead config+2 sequencer buttons.

Implementation Details / Mockup

example from FL:
demo

Each channel:

  • Can select the audio device
  • Can toggle recording mode (The record+play isn't very necessary, simply press play in sequencer)
  • Can monitor audio device (FL doesn't have this, but a button to monitor the audio device is great to try the FX stack in realtime)
Please search the issue tracker for existing feature requests before submitting your own.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing the existing audio-recording configuration and sequencer controls, then inspect how mixer channels handle inputs and monitoring; done means multiple inputs can be assigned and monitored per channel with the requested recording controls.
