• Merge recording: You can record over an existing MIDI region, merging the recordings
as one. See MIDI Merge Recording .
• Replace recording: You can replace an original recording, or a portion of it, with a new
recording. See MIDI Replace Recording .
MIDI regions are recorded in real time, or using a number of “step input” methods, on
software instrument and external MIDI tracks. For details about these methods, see
MIDI
Step Input Recording .
MIDI Take Recording
You can approach MIDI take recording in the following ways:
• By recording a single MIDI take: Creates a single MIDI region on the selected arrange
track.
• By recording multiple MIDI takes: Creates multiple MIDI regions over the same section
of the project, all packed into a single take folder.
• By recording additional MIDI takes: Creates a take folder or the addition of new recordings
to existing take folders.
Recording a Single MIDI Take
When you record a single MIDI take, a MIDI region is automatically created on the selected
arrange track.
To record a single MIDI take
1 Select the instrument or external MIDI track that you want to record on.
Note: These track types are automatically record-enabled when selected.
2 Set the playhead to the point where you want recording to start.
3 If you would like to hear the metronome while recording, Control-click (or right-click) the
Metronome button in the Transport bar, and make sure the Click While Recording
command is chosen in the pop-up menu.
4 Click the Record button in the Transport bar (or use the corresponding key command,
default assignment: *).
You will hear the count-in, if defined in File > Project Settings > Recording.
5 Stop recording by clicking the Stop button in the Transport bar (or press the Space bar).
