Record More Guitar (Overdub)
This section shows you how to layer multiple guitar tracks in multiple recording passes (known as
overdubbing). For variety, we’re going to record this track in mono.
Create a Track
Pro Tools tracks are where audio, MIDI and other elements get recorded and edited within a session.
Before you can record, you need to create one or more tracks.
To prepare an audio track for recording:
1 In a Pro Tools session, choose Track > New.
2 To record a guitar track (as in our example), set the New Track dialog for 1 Mono Audio Track, and
click Create. (If you want to record a stereo rig, create a stereo audio track.)
3 Make sure the Mix window is open by choosing Window > Mix.
4 Using the Input Path selector on the new track, set the input of the channel to Eleven Rig L (Mono).
5 Click the new track’s Record button so you can hear yourself again.
6 Click on the track name to select the newly created track, choose Window > Eleven Rack, and then
choose a new tone (Rig) from the Rig Settings menu.
7 With your new track set up and record enabled, and your 2nd tone chosen, click the Transport Re-
cord button again.
8 Now click Play in the Transport window or press the Spacebar to start recording. It might take a few
tries to get the right balance between the previously recorded track and the new one (Now you can use
the on-screen fader to raise or lower the playback level of the previously recorded track).
9 When you want to stop, press the Spacebar or click Stop.
10 Click the track’s Record Enable button again, click Return to Zero and then press the Spacebar
again to listen back. Balance the playback levels of the tracks using their on-screen faders.
