A simple click puts the track into "Audio recording" mode.
Furthermore, monitoring is now activated, i.e you can hear the input
signal of your sound card on playback (learn more in the "Mixer"
chapter, "Recording/Live Monitoring" (view page 266))
If
you start recording now ("R"), the audio recording dialog will
open. The recorded audio material is added to this track. If there is
already an object on the same position of the track, the next empty
track will be used.
Clicking this button again puts the track into "MIDI recording"
mode. If a software instrument is loaded, you can play it with a
hooked-up MIDI keyboard (monitoring). If you start recording now,
a new MIDI object will be created in the track and the MIDI editor
will open. From there you will be able to start the MIDI recording
(view page 102).
Here you can open the "Track effects" menu where you will find
presets for track effects (view page 173) sorted according to the
instrument
type.
With the "Move track up/down" commands you can sort your
tracks.
Zooming
The vertical zoom function sets the number
of visible tracks. With many tracks, zooming
is useful to be able to selectively edit a track
or an object in full view.
Use the horizontal zoom functions to set up the visible section of the
arrangement on the timeline.
Move/Zoom with the scroll bar
If you move
the mouse to the edge of the scroll bar, the cursor will turn into a
double-arrow symbol which can be used to select and compress/stretch the
scroll bar. This way, you can zoom in and out quickly. Dragging the middle of
the scroll bar moves the visible section.
You can tell which part of the entire arrangement is being played by the size
and position of the scroll bar. If the whole arrangement is displayed, then the
scroll bar will fill out the bar. Complete view may be set by doublke clicking the
scroll bar.
