Recording MIDI
You can use a MIDI keyboard to record MIDI in real time in
Logic Pro.
This chapter focuses on recording options that are specic to recording MIDI in real
time. You’ll learn how recording over the top of a previous performance can have
dierent outcomes—merging recordings, replacing recordings, or creating take
folders—depending on your recording setup. You’ll also experiment with quantization,
a process that allows you to correct the timing of MIDI notes.
Making a MIDI Recording
MIDI recording is similar to audio recording. You play your connected MIDI keyboard
and Logic Pro automatically records the incoming MIDI events on the record-enabled
MIDI or software instrument track. In this chapter, you’ll only record to a software
instrument track. Information about MIDI tracks can be found in the Logic Pro User
Manual.
For details about setting the metronome and count-in prior to recording, see Chapter 4.
