RECORDING IN THE SEQUENCER
143
D Select the audio track you want to duplicate and then click the “New Alt” button on the Transport Panel.
This will create a new audio track with a duplicate of the original audio track settings, including the channel strip
settings (with insert etc.). Now, you can continue recording on the new audio track as described in “Recording au-
dio” and “Recording audio in Loop mode”. Afterwards, you can edit the new track completely independently of the
original track.
q The “Alt” function can also be used on-the-fly while recording.
Recording over or into an existing audio clip
If you start recording over an existing clip on an audio track, the new recording will incorporate (replace, but not
erase) the previous recording in the clip. When you open the audio clip in the Comp Editor afterwards, there will be
one Comp Row for each of the takes, the same result as when recording audio in Loop mode (see “Recording audio
in Loop mode”).
Let’s have a look at the following example:
In the picture below, we have the original audio clip spanning bars 1-8 on the track:
An audio track with an existing clip.
Now, we want to redo (re-record) the part that spans bars 5-6. We place the Song Position Pointer at bar 5 and re-
cord 2 bars:
A new recording made on bars 5-6 on the audio track.
The new recording is made over the original clip. The recording in the original clip has therefore been incorporated
into the start of bar 5 to the end of bar 6.
You can also see that the clip has become a Comp Clip, as indicated by the symbol (gray dots) at the lower right cor-
ner of the clip.
