966 Chapter 39 Project Settings and Preferences
Overlapping Recordings
This pop-up menu provides the following settings:
 Create take folders: As the name suggests, a new take folder is created when
recording over an existing MIDI region. Details on take recording and handling are
covered in “Recording MIDI Regions in Real Time” on page 396.
 Merge with selected regions: Newly-recorded data is merged with all selected regions,
to form a single region. This takes place after each recording is completed.
 Merge only in Cycle record: When recording in Cycle mode, this function merges the
data recorded in all cycle passes into a single region. If not in Cycle mode, each
newly-recorded MIDI region will be independent (not merged).
Auto Demix by Channel if Multi Track Recording
This setting switches between the Layer recording and Multi-player recording modes.
See “Recording on Multiple MIDI Tracks” on page 400.
MIDI Data Reduction
Controller events are thinned out during recording, to reduce the data load on the MIDI
bus during playback. This improves the timing of dense arrangements when using
interfaces with only a few MIDI ports. The function actually reduces the duration of
controller events, using an intelligent algorithm which retains the value at the end of a
series of controller messages.
Recording Folder
This setting is only really applicable if you prefer to record all audio data into a single
location. If your working methods are geared towards projects, all recordings (and
other project assets) are saved in the project folder itself. To set a universal recording
folder, click the Set button, and choose or create a new folder location in the file
selector box.
