dio recordings.

Recording audio in Loop mode
Recording audio in Loop mode is very useful if you want to record alternative takes of the same part of the song. For
example, let’s say you want to sing a couple of takes of the chorus part of your song to later create the perfect chorus
by selecting the best parts of the different takes.
! To minimize the song saving time, we strongly recommend saving the song before recording many or large au-
dio recordings.
Proceed as follows to record audio in Loop mode:
1. Set up the audio track according to the descriptions in “Setting up the audio track”.
2. Set the Left and Right Locators to span the chorus part of your song.
3. Enable the Loop function by pressing [L] or by clicking the Loop On/Off button on the Transport Panel:

4. Click the L button on the Transport Panel to move the Song Position Pointer to the Left Locator.
5. Record the track according to the descriptions in “General recording procedure”.
6. Start singing to record audio on the track.
When the Song Position Pointer has reached the Right Locator, the recording starts over from the Left locator
again and you can now record a second take. The audio recorded in the previous take won’t be heard but is saved
in the “background” on a Comp Row.
Continue recording for as many loop cycles as you like.
7. When the recording is finished, the audio clip on the track shows the last recorded audio take as one or two
continuous waves inside the clip (depending on whether the input was in mono or stereo).
