Ask before recording over existing recording
This option will cause Pianissimo to always ask you before you record over an existing recording on a track. This
can help prevent accidentally erasing a desirable recording. It is set to be on by default.

Metronome
The Metronome will pulse along with the measures and beats of playback and recording. It is an invaluable tool for
recording, helping the player perfect their timing and stay true to the tempo of the music even during dynamic
passages. Pianissimo includes several sounds for the metronome, including beeps, bass drum, snare drum, hi
hat, and rim shot sounds. You can use the preferences to change the sounds that are played by the metronome to
better suit your style.
Metronome Sound File (Measure)
This option allows you to select an audio file on your hard drive to be used by the metronome to signal the start of
a new measure.
Metronome Sound File (Beat)
This option allows you to select an audio file on your hard drive to be used by the metronome to signal the start of
a new beat.
Metronome Volume
This slider allows you to control the volume of the metronome heard during playback or recording, if the
metronome is switched on. The range of this slider is 0 (no volume) to 100% (maximum volume).
