SAMPLITUDE QUICKSTART 83
Start of recording
Once you have everything set up and the signal has been adjusted, start recording by
pressing the shortcut "R". You can end the recording by pressing the space bar (only in
"Playback while recording" mode) – or by pressing the "R" key again. If you wish to accept
the recording, confirm it by pressing the "OK" button in the dialog window that opens.
Now you can see one object for each recorded track.
MIDI recording
In Samplitude there is no separation of audio and MIDI tracks. Each track can contain
audio and MIDI objects. You can therefore work on audio and MIDI material in a single
project without having to worry about splitting tracks. This lets you manage VST
instruments entirely from within a single track. When freezing the track, the MIDI data is
converted into audio data. However, a track can only record from a certain device. This
means that audio and MIDI files cannot be recorded simultaneously onto one track.
In a Samplitude Arranger track, MIDI data is recorded in the same way as audio data. An
object is created for each recording, which overlaps existing objects.
Hint: Samplitude offers special MIDI recording modes (view page 84), in which already
existing MIDI objects are inserted either through mixing (overdubbing) or through local
replacement (Replace).
Preparing a MIDI recording
When the "MIDI" button is activated in the track editor, the MIDI section opens to prepare
the track for MIDI recording.
Tell Samplitude which MIDI input device you would like to use. Select the MIDI in slot on
your entry device (e.g. MIDI keyboard or fingerboard).
As the playback device (MIDI output device), select the MIDI playback device you use via
the MIDI out slot (e.g. MIDI out of your sound card or a VST instrument).
