RECORDING IN THE SEQUENCER

Now, let’s double-click the clip to open it in the Comp Editor:
The new and original recordings (takes) in Edit Mode.
The new recording has incorporated bars 5-6 of the original recording. However, the original recording in bars 5-6
has been left totally unaffected. The entire original audio recording now resides on the “Take 1” Comp Row and the
latest recording resides on the “Take 2” Comp Row. The resulting clip will now play back the “Take 1” recording in
bars 1-4 and 7-8. Bars 5-6 will play back the “Take 2” recording.
See “Creating a comped audio clip” for details on how to extract parts from individual takes and comp into a final clip.
Recording audio from Mix Channel outputs
Besides recording external audio from the inputs of your audio interface, it’s also possible to record audio internally
from the outputs of Mix Channel or Audio Track devices. Typical applications for this could be:
• Recording the audio from an Output Bus (sub mixer) Mix Channel.
You might have the individual drums of your drum kit on separate tracks and these tracks are routed to a Mix
Channel which is set to work as an Output Bus (see
“Output Busses”). You then want to record the audio from
the Output Bus onto a new Audio Track.
In this situation, all you need to do is create a new Audio Track, activate the Rec Source button on the Output Bus
Mix Channel device, and then select the Output Bus in the Select Audio Input drop-down list on the Audio Track
in the Track List. Then, record the audio from the Output Bus as described in
“Recording audio”.
• Re-recording of an audio track with effects applied.
• Recording when playing back an instrument or audio track while making live manipulations of effects or pa-
rameters.
q If you want to record the audio from an Instrument track onto an audio track, without making any live manipu-
lations, you can also use the “Bounce Mixer Channels” function - see “Bouncing Mixer Channels”.
The example below describes how to capture and record the audio from an ID8 device, but the general method can
be used for other recording scenarios as well:
1. Create an instrument track for the instrument device you want to record according to the descriptions in “Cre-
ating an instrument track”.
You won’t actually be recording on the instrument track in this situation. However, you will need the instrument
track to be able to play the instrument device from your connected master keyboard.
2. Create an audio track according to the description in “Creating an audio track”.
