Recording
Modes
There
are several
modes
for
recording
to
an
Instrument
track.
To
switch
between
these
modes,
navigate
to
the
View
menu
and
select
the
Record
panel
or
press
[Shift]+[Alt]/[Option]+[R]
on
the
keyboard.
In
the
Record
panel,
you
can
engage
Record
Mode
Overdub
or
Record
Mode
Replace
and
Loop
Record
Takes
or
Loop
Record
Mix.
The
following
describes
each
recording
mode
for
Instrument
tracks.
5.6.1
Record
Mode
Overdub
and
Replace
When
in
Overdub
recording
mode,
recording
over
any
existing
Instrument
part
will
result
in
the
newly
recorded
material
being
overdubbed,
or
added
to,
the
existing
material.
While
recording,
you
will
hear
the
previously
recorded
event
playing,
along
with
the
material
currently
being
recorded,
assuming
that
you
are
monitoring
the
Instrument
track.
When
in
the
Replace
recording
mode,
recording
over
any
existing
Instrument
Part
will
result
in
the
new
material
being
recorded
to
a
new
event,
which
replaces
that
portion
of
the
original
event.
While
recording,
you
will
not
hear
the
previously
recorded
event
playing
back,
as
the
purpose
of
this
mode
is
to
replace
the
existing
material.
5.6.2
Loop
Record
Takes
and
Mix
If
Loop
is
engaged
in
the
Transport
while
recording,
the
recording
mode
will
change
to
either
Loop
Record
Takes
or
Loop
Record
Mix,
depending
on
the
selection
in
the
Record
panel.
These
modes
are
functionally
similar
to
the
regular
Record
Mode
Overdub
and
Record
Mode
Replace.
When
Loop
Record
Takes
is
selected,
each
pass
through
the
looped
region
is
recorded
to
a
new
take
within
a
single
new
Instrument
Part.
When
recording
is
stopped,
each
take
is
individually
selectable
by
[Right]/[Control]-­‐clicking
on
the
Instrument
Part
and
choosing
one
of
the
numbered
takes
from
the
top
of
the
pop-­‐up
menu.
Only
one
take
can
be
selected
at
a
time
for
any
Instrument
Part.
Takes
on
Instrument
Parts
can
be
unpacked
to
new
Instrument
tracks,
as
with
Audio
event
takes,
described
in
the
Unpack
Takes
section
of
this
chapter.
When
Loop
Record
Mix
is
selected,
each
pass
through
the
looped
region
is
added
to
the
existing
material
within
a
single,
new
Instrument
Part.
For
instance,
if
you
loop
a
four-­‐bar
region
to
record
a
new
drum
part,
this
would
allow
you
to
play
one
piece
of
the
drum
kit
during
each
pass
until
you
have
recorded
the
whole
part.
