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
Using the Multitake
Editor . You can also record directly into the Multitake Editor. For more information about
recording in the Multitake Editor, see Recording into the Multitake Editor .
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 Working with the Cycle Region .
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.
4 Click the Record button in the transport controls to start recording (or press Command–R).
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.
