RECORDING

Standard subscribers can record audio mixes and combined videos. Standard+ subscribers can record individual audio tracks and individual video tracks for individual session participants, as well as the audio mixes and combined videos that Standard subscribers can record.

Audio recordings use high buffering latency that can provide very clean audio even when you hear some crackling in low latency audio monitored in your headphones.
