LemonBoy's Live Tweaking Recording Advice…
1. Always, always, always check the pattern selector before you start
recording. Automation will be recorded into the selected pattern.
2. Right-click on the record button to check Automation, Score (notes)
and or Audio is ticked. Depending on what you want to record.
3. Get your song laid out the way you want it before you start live
recording. This makes it much easier than trying to align automation to
song structure. It’s better to record automation on an existing song.
4. Always save a backup copy of your project before you start any live
recording. That way if you mess things up or change your mind, you can
go back to the clean copy.
5. Save your project frequently during live recording. Press Ctrl+N to quick-
save a ‘new’ copy of your project. This adds a _1, _2, _3 etc each time you
do it to your project file. If you accidentally tweak something and erase
some events, you can always go back to any previous version.
6. Get yourself an External Hardware controller to make your life easier.
Check the Google/Apple app stores for Image-Line Remote (See the
section on External Controllers for more info!)
