Chapter 14 Recording in Logic Express 389
Combining Cycle and Autopunch Recording
If you want to improve a difficult part of a certain passage, you can use a combination
of the Cycle and Autopunch functions. Cycle mode recording allows you to practice as
many times as you like before performing the final take. On each cycle pass, only
events or audio that falls within the autopunch stripe is recorded. This allows you to
make use of the preceding song section to “get into the groove.”
Recording With Skip Cycle
If Skip Cycle is switched on, the cycle area is bypassed during recording.
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.
