record more than 4 mono channels

I may have made a mistake:

I recently purchased music studio so I could record multiple tracks to the PC.

The problem is that I need to record 6 tracks, and whenever I try to click record on the fifth track, I  get an error message saying I can only record up to 4 mono channels.

I reviewed the docs and I do see that limitation in the docs. I must have been thrown by the 'mix up to 64 channels' - not the same as RECORD up to 64 channels...

Am I correct that music studio limits me to 4 channels? What are my options? Is there an upgrade that would take me from 4 record channels to 6 or more?

Thanks for your help...

Hi

I presume you mean 'simultaneous recording' in which case that would suggest you have purchased Music Studio 2 when you require Music Studio 2014

See the specs here (MS 2) and here (MS2014).

If the purchase is very recent contact sales at Magix to ask if there is an upgrade discount.

Hi John,

 

Thanks for the post. Looks like you're right. 128-track recording! more than I'll ever need! I wish I would have spotted that sooner but I got careless when I compared the two...

I posted an online request to see if there is anything they can do as far as an upgrade price.

Thanks for the suggestion!
