Tutorial 1: Recording
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 a two bars pre-
count 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 47.
We have a default setting of 120 which means 120 BPM
or beats per minute. We can leave it at that.
Adding 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 MediaBay 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 you would like to record.
5. Activate the Preview button and browse through the
list on the right until you find a suitable loop.
6. Drag the selected drum loop into the Arrange Zone
and line it up with bar 1, just below the guitar track.
!
You can adjust the metronome volume using the
“Metronome Level” slider on the Program Settings
Page in the Multi Zone.
Choose a drum loop… …and drag it into the Arrange Zone.
