Recording audio in cycle mode
If you are recording audio in cycle mode, the result depends
on two factors:
• The “Cycle Record Mode” setting on the Transport panel.
• The “Audio Cycle Record Mode” setting in the Prefer-
ences (Record-Audio page).
Cycle Record Modes on the Transport panel
There are five different modes on the Transport panel, but
the first two modes only apply to MIDI recording. For au-
dio cycle recording, the following applies:
• If “Keep Last” is selected, the last complete “take” (the
last completely recorded lap) is kept as an audio event.
In reality, all laps you recorded are saved in one audio file divided into re-
gions – one region for each take. You can easily select a previous take
for playback – this is done as when recording in “Create Regions” mode
(see “Create Regions mode (Preferences)” on page 76).
• If “Stacked” is selected, each take will appear as an
event on a separate “lane” on the track.
This is useful when you want to view and edit the different takes and
eventually combine them to one recording. In this mode, the Audio Cycle
Record Mode preference doesn’t matter. Stacked 2 (No Mute) is the
same as Stacked, except that all the takes will be audible. See “Recor-
ding audio in Stacked mode” on page 77.
• If any of the other cycle recording modes is selected,
the result depends entirely on the “Audio Cycle Record
Mode” setting in the Preferences (Record-Audio page).
These options are described below.
Create Events mode (Preferences)
When “Audio Cycle Record Mode” is set to “Create
Events” in the Preferences (Record-Audio page), the fol-
lowing will happen when you record audio in cycle mode:
• One continuous audio file is created during the entire
recording process.
• For each recorded lap of the cycle, one audio event is
created.
The events will have the name of the audio file plus the text “Take *”,
where “*” indicates the number of the take.
• The last take (the last recorded lap) will be on top (and
will thus be the one you hear when you activate playback).
To select another take for playback, proceed a follows:
1. Right-click the event and select “To Front” from the
pop-up menu that appears.
A submenu appears, listing all the other (obscured) events.
2. Select the desired take.
The corresponding event is brought to front.
