Recording Multiple Takes of your Audio
Sequel offers the possibility to record multiple takes of your performance. This allows
for recording a section multiple times and then selecting the best take, or assembling
a perfect take from the different takes. Proceed as follows:
1. Draw in a cycle region from bar 3 to 4, and set the project cursor to the beginning
of the cycle.
2. Activate the Cycle button.
3. Make sure that the “Record Ready” button for the track is activated, and click the
Record button to start recording.
The project cursor jumps to a position 2 bars before the recording starts and
Sequel repeats the cycle region over and over again.
4. Record as many takes as you like.
All takes are stacked in the cycle region.
5. Press [Space] to stop recording.
Selecting a Take
When you play back what you have just recorded, you can only hear the take that is
shown in the Arrange Zone. To select a different take for playback, proceed as follows:
1. Position the mouse pointer over the take and click the small triangle on the top left.
2. On the pop-up menu, select the take that you want to hear.
3. Listen to all your takes and select the one you like most.
4. To delete the other takes, select “Remove Overlaps” from the pop-up menu.
Assembling the Perfect Take
You can also combine segments of the recorded takes to assemble one perfect take.
Proceed as follows:
1. Move the mouse pointer over the bottom of the take so that it turns into a Split tool.
2. Click at the positions where you want to split the takes.
All stacked takes are cut at the same positions.
3. Select the segments that you want to include in the perfect take from the pop-up
menu.
4. On the Edit menu, select the “Bounce Selection” command.
A new audio event that includes all segments is created and all the unused
segments are removed.
