Recording Multiple Takes
You can record multiple takes in the Timeline. You can record multiple takes using the
cycle region to define where each take starts and ends, or you can record for the
duration of the project. When you record multiple takes, the takes are “stacked” in a
single multitake clip in the Timeline. You can audition each take and create composite
takes using the Multitake Editor. For information about the Multitake Editor, see
Chapter 7, “
To record multiple takes:
1
If you want to record to an existing track, enable the track.
2
If cycling is turned off, click the Cycle button in the transport controls to turn it on.
3
Set the cycle region to the part of the Timeline where you want recording to start and end.
For information on setting the cycle region, see “
If no cycle region is set, recording starts at the beginning of the project and lasts until
the end of the last clip in the project. If the project contains no clips, a single take is
recorded, starting at the current playhead position.

Click the Record button in the transport controls to start recording.
As you record, the level meters in the Recording tab show the levels of the input signal
being recorded. If the input signal clips (rises above 0 dB), the peak indicator lights red.
The playhead advances to the end of the cycle region, then returns to the beginning of
the cycle region for the next take.
You can record multiple
tracks at once.
