• Record pre-roll: When selected, you can set a pre-roll time in seconds and
milliseconds. When recording, this value is deducted from the current project
position.
• Count-in pop-up menu: Sets the count-in period that precedes a recording.
• None: The recording begins with no count-in.
• x Bar: The recording begins with a count-in of between 1 Bar and 6 Bars (chosen
from the pop-up menu).
• x/4: The count-in’s time signature can be set here. These settings are useful when
the count-in falls across a bar change.
• “Allow tempo change recording” checkbox: Records all tempo changes made while in
record mode.
• “Auto-colorize takes” checkbox: Assigns a take folder the color chosen from the Color
palette for the first take recording, but different colors for each of the following takes in
that take folder. All colors used in a take folder are chosen from the same color row in
the Color palette, advancing by a predefined number of columns after each take.
• “Auto demix by channel if multitrack recording” checkbox: Switches between layer
recording and multiplayer recording, when recording to multiple software instrument
tracks.
• When layer recording: Incoming MIDI events are sent to all record-enabled MIDI
tracks. A MIDI region is recorded to the selected track. Aliases of the MIDI region on
the selected track are recorded to the other record-enabled tracks. Any subsequent
edits to the “parent” MIDI region affects all aliases, ensuring that all layered tracks
remain identical.
• When multiplayer recording: Incoming MIDI events are distributed to the various
record-enabled tracks, in accordance with transmitted MIDI channel numbers. The
channel of the incoming event must correspond to the channel of a record-enabled
track for this to work. If no track with a corresponding channel number is found, the
event are routed, and recorded, to the selected track. You should ensure that each
of your MIDI controllers transmit on different channels. If this is not possible, simply
use different inputs on your MIDI interface and change the MIDI channel of each
input, using a transformer object between the Physical Input and Sequencer Input
objects.
• Recording Preferences button: Opens the Recording preferences window.
When Additional Audio Options is selected in Advanced preferences, the following is
available:
• Audio Recording Path buttons: Use to set or reset the audio recording path.
• Set button: Allows you to select or create a recording folder outside of the project.
• Project button: Resets the recording path back to the project.
When Additional MIDI Options is selected in Advanced preferences, the following is
available:
• “MIDI data reduction” checkbox: Controller events are thinned out during recording,
to reduce the data load on the MIDI bus during playback. This improves the timing of
dense arrangements when using interfaces with only a few MIDI ports. The function
actually reduces the duration of controller events, using an intelligent algorithm which
retains the value at the end of a series of controller messages.
