Chapter 8 Record your voice or a musical instrument 205
Record to multiple audio tracks
You can 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 to multiple audio tracks simultaneously
1 Set the instrument or microphone input source for each track you want to record to.
2 Click the Record Enable button in the track header of each track you want to record to.
3 Move the playhead to the point in the ruler where you want to start recording.
By default, Logic Pro includes a metronome—a steady beat to help you play in time
while recording.
4 Do one of the following:
•
If you only want Logic Pro to play a one-measure count-in before recording starts, Control-click
the Metronome button
in the control bar, choose Metronome Settings from the shortcut
menu, then select the “Only during count-in” checkbox.
•
Set the playhead a few beats before the point where you want the recording to begin, to give
yourself time to start playing.
5 Click the Record button in the control bar (or press R) to start recording.
6 Start singing or play your instrument.
A new audio region appears on each of the record-enabled tracks.
7 Click the Stop button in the control bar (or press the Space bar) to stop recording.
