Record Enabling Tracks
To record to a track you must first record-
enable it. While you can have multiple
audio tracks record-enabled (for simulta-
neously recording more than one track),
there can only be one MIDI track record-

track can, however, be switched on the fly
while recording.

■ From either the Edit or Mix window,
click the track’s Record button.
