Record to multiple audio tracks in Logic Pro
If you don’t want to use takes folders, you can choose to record multiple audio versions
to new tracks. You can also record to more than one audio track at a time, allowing you
to record several instruments at once—placing each instrument on a separate track, for
example.
Record multiple audio versions to new tracks
1. In Logic Pro, do one of the following:
Choose Record > Overlapping Audio Recordings > Cycle > Create New Track.
Choose File > Project Settings > Recording, then choose Cycle > Create Tracks from
the Overlapping Recordings: Audio pop-up menu.
Control-click the Record button in the control bar, choose Recording Settings
from the shortcut menu, then choose Cycle > Create New Folder from the
Overlapping Audio Recordings pop-up menu.
2. Drag left or right in the top part of the ruler.
The cycle area appears as a yellow strip in the ruler, and Cycle mode is automatically
turned on.
3. Set the metronome for recording, if desired.
4. Click the Record button in the control bar (or press R) to start recording.
Recording starts automatically at the beginning of the defined cycle area. Record as
many cycle passes as you wish.
Record to multiple audio tracks simultaneously
