Recording

Studio records to your own disk. RECORD is its own button beside GO LIVE: a recording is not a side effect of being on air, and you can record without broadcasting at all. While it runs, the top bar shows REC.

Settings → Local recording

WAV for an untouched copy, FLAC for a smaller untouched copy, MP3 for something you can post. Choosing WAV or FLAC hides the bitrate rather than showing a setting that would do nothing. Recordings use the sample rate and channels of Streaming output.

Where files go

Into the destination folder (Studio creates it if it does not exist), named after the station and the moment the recording started:

My Radio_2026-10-10_21-30-00.wav

The time in the name is UTC, not your local time. The console says when a recording starts and prints the full path when it is saved:

Recording...
Saved on: C:\Users\you\Music\MAWCast\My Radio_2026-10-10_21-30-00.wav

Studio checks the file exists and is not empty before it says it was saved. With no folder set, RECORD asks for one first.

Recording and the stream

• Record automatically on: going live starts a recording, and stopping the stream stops it.
• Going live closes a recording that was already running — the file is saved — and, with Record automatically on, starts a new one.
• STOP STREAM also stops a recording started with RECORD.
• With Record automatically on and no folder set, the broadcast goes ahead without a recording, and the console says so.
