Recording system and method for multi-track recording

A recording method in a recording system that includes:

• a plurality of first devices each having a function for recording independently of other of the first devices;
• and a second device having a plurality of tracks associated with the plurality of first devices,
• the recording method:
• a step of instructing the plurality of first devices to simultaneously record sound data;
• a creation step of, in response to the simultaneous recording instruction, causing the second device to create in each of the plurality of tracks a provisional segment identifying a time of the instructed recording;
• an acquisition step of causing the second device to acquire from the plurality of first devices sound data simultaneously recorded in individual ones of the plurality of first devices in response to the instruction;
• and
• a conversion step of causing the second device to record the sound data, acquired from the individual first devices, into the provisional segments created in corresponding ones of the tracks and thereby convert the provisional segments into actual segments having the sound data actually recorded therein.

A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium string a program executable by one or more processors for performing a recording method in a recording system that includes:

• a plurality of first devices each having a function for recording independently of other of the first devices;
• and a second device having a plurality of tracks associated with the plurality of first devices,
• the recording method:
• a step of instructing the plurality of first devices to simultaneously record sound data;
• a creation step of, in response to the simultaneous recording instruction, causing the second device to create in each of the plurality of tracks a provisional segment identifying a time of the instructed recording;
• an acquisition step of causing the second device to acquire from the plurality of first devices sound data simultaneously recorded in individual ones of the plurality of first devices in response to the instruction;
• and
• a conversion step of causing the second device to record the sound data, acquired from the individual first devices, into the provisional segments created in corresponding ones of the tracks and thereby convert the provisional segments into actual segments having the sound data actually recorded therein.

A recording system comprising:

• a plurality of first devices each having a function for recording independently of other of the first devices;
• and
• a second device having a plurality of tracks associated with the plurality of first devices;
• the second device including a processor configured to:
• in response to a simultaneous recording command to the plurality of first devices, create in each of the plurality of tracks a provisional segment identifying a time of the simultaneous recording;
• in response to the simultaneous recording command, acquire from the plurality of first devices sound data simultaneously recorded in individual ones of the plurality of first devices;
• and
• record the sound data, acquired from the individual first devices, into the provisional segments created in corresponding ones of the tracks and thereby convert the provisional segments into actual segments having the sound data actually recorded therein.
