372 Chapter 14 Recording in Logic Pro
Replace Mode Recording
In Replace mode, newly recorded data is stored in a new region, as per a standard
recording. In addition, any existing region on the destination track is cut at the punch
in and out points of the recording, and data between these points is deleted.
To activate Replace mode:
m Switch on the Replace button on the Transport.
Combining Cycle and Replace Recording
When cycle recording in Replace mode, existing regions (or portions of them) are only
deleted during the first cycle pass—from the punch-in point to either; a punch-out
point or the end of the cycle.
When the second cycle pass begins, recording continues, but no further regions (or
portions of them) are deleted. If you want to replace the end of an existing region, you
don’t need to stop recording before the second cycle pass begins: the start of the
existing region remains intact.
Handling Audio Recordings
After creating one or more recordings, you may wish to delete one or more of them, or
perhaps merge or create a comp with several takes. These types of tasks are often
performed immediately after recording.
Region editing and arrangement tasks are discussed in Chapter 13, “ Creating Your
Arrangement .”
A Note About Tempo and Audio Recordings
Audio recordings made in a given project can follow the project tempo by enabling the
Follow Tempo checkbox in the Region Parameter box (for more information, see “
Using
the Follow Tempo Function ” on page 526).
