Recording MIDI
You can record MIDI using any of the basic recording methods.
When you finish recording, a part that contains MIDI events is created in the Project
window.
NOTE
If you perform a live recording on a VST instrument, you usually compensate the
latency of the audio card by playing earlier. In consequence, the timestamps are
recorded too early. If you activate the ASIO Latency Compensation button on the
track list, all recorded events are moved by the current latency setting.
The following preferences affect MIDI recording:
• Length Adjustment
• Snap MIDI Parts to Bars
• Solo Record in MIDI Editors
• MIDI Record Catch Range in ms
• ASIO Latency Compensation Active by Default
You can find them on the MIDI and Record–MIDI page of the Preferences dialog.

you want to record.
