Tutorial 2—Recording MIDI
Punch-in recording lets you replace a section of a track. This is how it
works: first, you set the start and end times of the punch to the section you
want to replace, and turn on punch recording. Then, you arm the track and
start recording. You can play along with the original take to get the rhythm
and feeling. However, nothing will be recorded until the Now time reaches
the punch start time. During the punch, the material already in the track will
be replaced with what you record. When the punch ends, the project will
continue to play, but recording will stop.
Let's try it. Suppose you want to replace several measures in the recording
you made earlier in this tutorial.
1. Display the Record toolbar by choosing Views-Toolbars-Record.
A. Punch In Time B. Punch Out Time C. Click here to set punch times to the
selection start and end times D. Auto-punch on/off E.Record mode F. Step record
G. Click to open the Record Options dialog box
2. In the Record toolbar, click the Punch In Time.
3. Type the number of the measure at which you want to begin punch
recording and press Enter.
4. Click the Punch Out Time.
5. Type the number of the measure at which you want to end punch
recording and press Enter.
6. Click the Auto-Punch On/Off button to enable punch recording.
7. Select Overwrite from the Record Mode dropdown menu.
8. Arm the track in which you want to punch record.
9. If looping is still on, click the Loop button to turn it off.
10. Click Rewind .
11. Click Record .
Play along until you are past the punch end time, then click Stop .
Replay your take to hear the difference. If it's still not right, try again!
