Preparing to record
To prepare for recording, you need to do the following:
• Set the recording mode.
• Choose your input(s).
• Arm one or more tracks for recording.
• Check your recording levels (audio only).
• Tune your instrument if necessary (audio only).
• Set the Now time to the point where recording should start.
• Start recording.
After you record, you can use the Edit > Undo command to erase the most recently recorded
material. You can use the Edit > Redo command to restore the recording and toggle between Undo
and Redo as many times as you like.
If you are using MIDI Sync or time code sync for the clock source, SONAR waits to receive external
timing data before it begins recording. For more information, see “Synchronizing your gear” on page
1079.
