a comped audio clip” for details.
Overdubbing audio using the “Dub” function
Back in the tape recorder days, overdubbing was used to record additional takes on additional tracks on the same
section of the tape, to create a complete arrangement. For example, recording a vocal chorus part could be done by
overdubbing the singer three or four times on additional tracks. Overdubbing in Record works in a similar way, but
with much better control, and much better editing possibilities afterwards.
D After you have recorded the first take on an audio track, click the “Dub” button on the Transport Panel.
This will create a new audio track with a duplicate of the original audio track settings, including the channel strip
settings (with insert effects etc.). Now, you can continue recording on the new audio track as described in “Re-
cording audio” and “Recording audio in Loop mode”. Afterwards, you can edit the new track completely indepen-
dently of the original track.
q The “New Dub” function can also be used on-the-fly while recording.
Duplicating audio tracks using the “Alt” function
Closely related to the “Dub” function, described in “Overdubbing audio using the “Dub” function”, is the “Alt” function.
This function can be used to create a new audio track with an identical copy of the selected audio track’s settings.
The only difference between the “Alt” and “Dub” functions is that the Alt function will automatically mute the original
audio track.
D Select the audio track you want to duplicate and then click the “New Alt” button on the Transport Panel.
This will create a new audio track with a duplicate of the original audio track settings, including the channel strip
settings (with insert etc.). Now, you can continue recording on the new audio track as described in “Recording au-
dio” and “Recording audio in Loop mode”. Afterwards, you can edit the new track completely independently of the
original track.
q The “New Alt” function can also be used on-the-fly while recording.
