Choose Soundtrack Pro > Preferences. Click the Recording button, then click Choose to

copy of every audio file the project uses (including recordings) is saved with the project
file. For more information, see “

” on page 111.

Recording Audio in the Mixer

You can record audio in the Mixer in a similar way to recording audio in the Timeline.
You can record a single take or record multiple takes.

To record audio in the Mixer, you follow the procedures described in “

Recording Audio

in the Timeline

” on page 368, with the following differences:

 To enable a track for recording in the Mixer, click the Arm for Recording button (the

red letter R) in the track’s channel strip.

 Depending on the layout you are using, the playhead may not be visible as you

record in the Mixer. In this case, you can set the playhead using the transport
controls or the Playhead Location value slider. If you want to record multiple takes
using a cycle region, you may need to set the cycle region in the Timeline before you
start recording in the Mixer.
