Mistakes
are
Opportunities
We
reveal
the
undo
feature
at
this
time
with
this
advice:
If
you’re
going
to
use
undo,
use
it
in
a
way
that
enhances
your
creativity.
Making
mistakes
is
human
and
often
adds
to
the
natural
style
of
your
work,
so
consider
not
overusing
it
or
becoming
too
much
of
a
perfectionist.
That
being
said,
here’s
how
the
feature
works:
At
any
time,
you
can
press
the
undo
icon
at
the
bottom
left.
It
will
undo
your
last
action.
For
example
you
can
undo
the
last
audio
you
recorded
using
punch
in
and
punch
out.
You
can
also
undo
the
results
of
the
tools
we’ll
be
discussing
later
like
loop
reverse
and
loop
clear.
Note:
Pressing
trash
cannot
be
undone.
Here’s
the
fun
part:
Pressing
undo
again
will
undo
the
undo
operation
(aka
redo).
You
can
also
undo
the
redo,
and
redo
the
undo
(you
get
the
point).
Note:
You
can
keep
swapping
between
what
you
“did”
and
what
you
“undid”
with
this
function,
but
at
some
point
you
may
want
to
forget
what
you
“undid”.
The
redo
buffer
will
be
reset
if
you
initiate
a
new
undoable
action
(like
starting
a
new
additive
recording
punch
in).
Going
Big
Often
you’ll
find
yourself
with
a
great
sounding
loop,
but
one
that’s
too
short
to
record
a
melody
on
top
of.
Solution:
Expansion.
We’ve
added
a
very
simple
feature
that
goes
a
long
way.
It’s
called
2X
meaning
“2
times”
or
“multiply”.
Pressing
the
2x
icon
at
the
bottom
will
take
your
loop
and
double
it
onto
itself.
Example:
Say
you
record
a
short
1
bar
drum
beat
but
you
want
to
expand
it
into
2
bars
and
record
a
bass
part
over
top,
and
then
say
double
it
again
to
4
bars
to
record
a
4
bar
vocal
phrase.
Simply
activate
2x,
record
your
bass
line,
activate
2x
again,
and
then
finish
off
with
your
vocal.
Warning:
2x
effectively
doubles
the
loop,
meaning
eventually
you’ll
run
out
of
loop
memory,
especially
if
your
original
loop
was
lengthy
to
begin
with.
Tip:
the
great
thing
about
VoiceJam
is
you
can
keep
the
action
going
at
all
times.
Undo,
2x,
and
all
the
great
features
we’ll
get
to
shortly
can
be
activated
instantly
without
disturbing
your
creative
flow
and
the
ear
candy
you
are
delivering
to
your
audience.
Clean
Slate
Pressing
the
trash
can
at
anytime
will
leave
you
with
a
clean
slate.
You
can
tell
you’re
at
a
clean
slate
when
you
see
a
blue
ring
animating
inward
towards
the
record
button.
This
means
the
loop
is
empty
and
ready
for
you
to
create
a
new
loop.
Reverse
and
Eraser
The
reverse
icon
reverses
the
entire
loop
creating
some
killer
sounds.
The
eraser
icon
clears
the
playing
loop
without
stopping
the
action
or
erasing
your
loop
points.
This
allows
for
an
on-­‐the-­‐fly
break
to
silence.
A
popular
way
to
use
the
eraser
feature
is
to
have
layering
enabled,
and
pressing
erase
just
before
you
start
a
new
theme,
clearing
the
old
to
make
room
for
the
new
-­‐-­‐
hence
instantly
transitioning
from
one
theme
to
another.
