Tutorial 1: Recording
5. Select the desired input for the track from the “Input
Selection” pop-up menu.
To be able to see the Input selection, make sure the track height is set to
Medium track height at the bottom of the track list.
Turning on the Metronome click
We’ll want to have a click or metronome play in the back-
ground as we record the guitar so that what we record
aligns with the bars and beats displayed in the Ruler.
• Activate the Metronome button in the Pilot Zone.
The metronome is automatically set to add two bars of
count-in before recording starts.
We now need to set the speed or tempo of our project. This
directly affects the speed of the metronome click. You can
change the tempo in the Tempo display field. For more on
changing tempo, see “The Tempo (TEMPO)” on page 46.
We have a default setting of 120 which means 120 BPM
or beats per minute. We can leave it at that.
Adding in a drum loop
Let’s add some drums to the project.
Ö Adding a drum loop to your project is not only great for
supporting the metronome when you are recording bass
or guitar, it's also great if you aren't a drummer or if you
don't have the ability to record drums at home.
1. Select the Media Bay page in the Multi Zone.
2. In the Category column, select “Drum & Perc”.
3. In the Sub Category column, select “Beats”.
4. In the “Style” column, select a style that suits the style
of guitar line that you would like to record.
5. Activate the Preview button and browse through the
results until you find something suitable.
