Working with multiple recorded takes
Clicking the Loop Playback button ( ) on the transport bar enables you to continually create takes during
recording. Takes are different versions of a recorded event that you can quickly switch between to choose the
best one. Each take within an event references a different source media file.
During recording with loop playback enabled, Vegas continually repeats the time selection and starts
recording a new take until you stop recording. You can preview, select, rename, and delete takes. For more
information, see Working with takes on page 91.
