Recording Audio

You can record audio using any of the basic recording methods.

When you finish recording, an audio file is created in the Audio folder within the project folder.

In the Pool, an audio clip is created for the audio file, and an audio event that plays the whole clip

appears on the recording track. Finally, a waveform image is calculated for the audio event. If the

recording was very long, this may take a while.

NOTE

The waveform image will be calculated and displayed during the actual recording process. This

realtime calculation uses some processing power. If your processor is slow or if you are working

on a CPU-intensive project, deactivate Create Audio Images During Record in the Preferences

dialog (Record—Audio page).

Audio Record Modes

By selecting an Audio Record Mode you decide what happens to your recording and to any

existing events on the track where you are recording. This is necessary because you will not

always record on an empty track. There may be situations where you record over existing events,

especially in cycle mode.

● To access the record modes, select Transport> Audio Record Mode.

You can also access the Audio Record Modes by clicking to the right of the audio symbol

in the Record Modes section in the Transport panel.

Keep History

Existing events or portions of events that are overlapped by a new recording are

kept.

Cycle History + Replace

Existing events or portions of events that are overlapped by a new recording are

replaced by the new recording. However, if you record in cycle mode, all takes from

the current cycle recording are kept.

Replace

Existing events or portions of events that are overlapped by a new recording are

replaced by the last recorded take.
