Zynthian can record a multitrack audio file with stereo tracks for each record channel. This single multitrack WAV file can then be imported into a DAW which can split the tracks on import.
 +

'''Configure Zynthian for multitrack recording:'''
 +
*Add an audio chain for each track you want to record, selecting the appropriate inputs with the “Chain Option” menu (bold SELECT), “Audio In” submenu
 +
*For each chain, enable “Record Chain” by accessing its “Chain Options” menu, “Audio Out” submenu
 +
 +
Any audio recordings will now create a multitrack WAV file. You can also enable “Record Chain” in the main mixbus to also record the main mix within the multitrack WAV file.

'''A warning on selecting storage destination for recording:'''

MicroSD storage is generally quite slow compared to other options such as external USB storage (whether flash memory, hard disk or solid state drive). Recording directly to the MicroSD can cause problems via bottlenecks in disk writes which in turn can cause issues with overal resouce availability and also because of the risk of filling the internal storage (multitrack recording compounds this problem). It's strongly encouraged to use external USB storage for audio recordings by inserting a USB storage device before starting recording. Running Zynthian from an SSD drive directly (as a Pi 5 can enable, though not supported) is likely to be fast enough to avoid these problems.
