6. To start recording, click the Record button (or press Option-Shift-A).
7. To stop recording, click the Record button (or press the Space bar or Option-Shift-A).
When you stop recording, the playhead returns to the start point you set in step 1,
ready for you to record additional takes. If you record additional takes with the “Create
Audition from takes” checkbox selected, Final Cut Pro creates an audition. See Combine
audio from multiple takes and
Create auditions in Final Cut Pro.
Your audio recordings are attached to the primary storyline at the playhead position.
Record multiple voiceover takes
You can record multiple versions, or “takes,” of voiceover recordings for the same section
of your project. By default, Final Cut Pro creates an audition from all the takes you record.
After you’ve finished recording, you can review the different takes in the audition and
choose the one you want to use.
1. To record your first voiceover take in Final Cut Pro, follow the instructions in Record live
audio, above.
2. Without moving the playhead, click the Record button (or press Option-Shift-A) to
record another take for the same section of your project.
3. To stop recording, click the Record button again (or press the Space bar or Option-
Shift-A).
By default, Final Cut Pro creates an audition containing both recordings.
To add another take to the audition, repeat steps 2 and 3. Each new take you record is
added to the audition.
