Default Record multiple inputs into separate takes on a single channel

So basically I do a lot of recording with multiple microphones or sources being used at once. Not often are these sources being used at the same time. Things like mics on guitar amps, different mics on vocalists, different gain level on vocalists etc. So I can select which mic I prefer after the fact.

So I picture it as another other item below Input: Stereo. And then a separate option somewhere in the menu when you right click the record arm button.

Thank you so so much for reading this, I hope you guys thinks it's worthwhile to add, I assumed it would be a whole situation for the routing matrix but you seemed to be able to manage with stereo input. Anyhow thank you!

Hey, this seems neat! I'd like to see that as well. Would be super useful when re-amping guitars through multiple amps for example.

I've done this in Reaper, works great. A take is a take, whether 1, 2 or 10 channel audio. You do need to set the number of channels in the routing window. The only limitation is they need to be consecutive channels on your interface.

Really? I can't even find where to set input's on a channel past stereo, can you give me some directions?

1 - open the track routing window to set number of channels (there are some limits, choices are 2,4,6,8,16, 32 and 64 if I recall correctly)
2 - input selection should now have an option for multichannel inputs (assuming your interface has the needed number of ins)
3 - record!

If you want to process them separately:
- Turn off parent send in the multichan audio track.
- create empty tracks, for each audio channel.
- add sends from the miltichan source to each new track, being careful to set each sent audio channel to it's correct track.
- Put these new tracks into a folder track.

Then those empty tracks can have volume, pan, effects, envelopes, or what ever, as needed, to remix the multichan audio. The folder acts as a submix bus, so you can use it to control overall level of the multichan audio.
