1. Choose Transport-Record Options to display the Record Options
dialog box.
2. Choose the Store Takes in Separate Tracks option to store each new
take in a separate track. Each time a new take starts, the settings from
the first track will be copied to the new track.
3. Click OK.
4. Click Rewind .
5. Click Record .
SONAR loops over the designated section and records your takes to
successive tracks. If you want to erase the most recent take during loop
recording, choose Transport-Reject Loop Take.
6. To stop recording, click Stop , or press the Spacebar.
Now you can listen to each take individually by muting the other ones.
Alternatively, you could set your loop recording options to Store Takes in a
Single Track and display them all within one track. After you finish recording
several takes, press the Track Layers button on the track strip. The track
will then expand to show all clips on separate layers that can be muted and
soloed individually.
For more information on Track Layers, see the online help topic “ Take
Management and Comping Takes.”
Next Step: Punch-In Recording.
Punch-In Recording
Imagine that one of your takes was close to ideal, except for one or two
notes in one measure. Rather than recording another full take, you'd prefer
to keep the take but replace that measure.
