Recording
To play back the different “takes”, proceed as follows:
1. In the Project window, holding [Alt]/[Option], right-
click the event that was created during cycle recording.
Provided that the “Popup Toolbox on Right Click” option in the Preferen-
ces dialog (Editing–Tools page) is activated, this brings up the context
menu.
2. Select the “Set To Region” menu item.
A submenu appears with the takes you recorded during cycle record.
3. Now you can select any of the takes from the submenu
and it will replace the previous take event in the Project
window.
Use this method to listen through the various takes. Select
the best single take, or compile a “perfect” take by cutting
out the best bits from each take and putting them together
(see “Assembling a “perfect take”” on page 258).
Create Events + Regions mode (Preferences)
In this mode, both events and regions are created. If you
work with the takes as events in this mode, you can edit
the events freely (e.g. splitting them), see “Create Events
mode (Preferences)” on page 76. However, in case you
want to go back to the original takes, they are still available
as regions (on the “Set To Region” submenu, in the Pool
or in the Sample Editor).
Recording audio in Stacked mode
When you record audio in cycle mode and the “Stacked”
Cycle Record Mode is selected on the Transport panel,
the following happens:
• Each complete recorded cycle lap is turned into a separate
audio event.
• The track is divided into “lanes”, one for each cycle lap.
• The events are stacked above each other, each on a different
lane.
This makes it easy to create a “perfect take” by combining
the best parts from the different cycle laps:
1. Zoom in so you can work comfortably with the stacked
events.
If you play back the recorded section, only the lowest
(last) take will be heard.
2. To audition another take, either mute the lower take(s)
with the Mute tool or move the takes between the lanes.
This can be done by dragging or by using the functions Move to Front/
Back on the context menu or the Edit menu.
3. Edit the takes so that only the parts you want to keep
can be heard.
You can cut events with the Scissors tool, resize them, mute them or de-
lete them.
The sections that will be heard are indicated in green.
4. When you are satisfied with the result, select all events
on all lanes and select “Delete Overlaps” from the Advan-
ced submenu on the Audio menu.
This puts all events back on a single lane and resizes events so that over-
lapped sections are removed.
