• Click Use Audio Metronome, select the Recording check box and set Record Count-in to 2

14. Click the Record button in the Control Bar’s Transport module, or press R on your computer
keyboard.
You'll hear two measures counted in by the metronome and then recording will begin. Start
performing at the beginning of the third count.
15. When you finish recording, click the Stop button or press the SPACEBAR.
A new audio clip appears.
16. Press Play to play back the project. If you would like to redo the take, go to Edit > Undo to undo
the previous recording, then repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 above until you get a perfect take.
Now that your first track has been recorded, you can “over-dub” another part. To do so, disable
recording on track 1 and repeat the steps in this tutorial. After repeating the steps, you will have
recorded to track 2. Both recorded tracks will play during playback. Each will also have its own
exclusive volume and pan control, effects bin, and can be muted or soloed. You'll learn more about
this in future tutorials.
