RECORDING IN THE SEQUENCER
140
The new recording has incorporated bars 5-6 of the original recording. However, the original recording in bars 5-6
has been left totally unaffected. The entire original audio recording now resides on the “Take 1” Comp Row and the
latest recording resides on the “Take 2” Comp Row. The resulting clip will now play back the “Take 1” recording in
bars 1-4 and 7-8. Bars 5-6 will play back the “Take 2” recording.
See “Creating a comped audio clip” for details on how to extract parts from individual takes and comp into a final clip.
Recording audio from Mix Channel outputs
Besides recording external audio from the inputs of your audio interface, it’s also possible to record audio internally
from the outputs of Mix Channel or Audio Track devices. Typical applications for this could be re-recording of an au-
dio track with effects applied, or recording when playing back an instrument or audio track while making live manip-
ulations of effects or parameters.
q If you want to record the audio from an Instrument track onto an audio track, without making any live manipu-
lations, you can also use the “Bounce Mixer Channels” function - see “Bouncing Mixer Channels”.
The example below describes how to capture and record the audio from an ID8 device, but the general method can
be used for other recording scenarios as well:
1. Create an instrument track for the instrument device you want to record according to the descriptions in “Cre-
ating an instrument track”.
You won’t actually be recording on the instrument track in this situation. However, you will need the instrument
track to be able to play the instrument device from your connected master keyboard.
2. Create an audio track according to the description in “Creating an audio track”.
3. In the rack, locate the Mix Channel device connected to the ID8 instrument device and click its “Rec Source”
button.
The “Rec Source” button on Mix Channel devices is used for real-time audio recording of devices connected to the
Mix Channel device.
The “Rec Source” button on Audio Track devices are used for real-time re-recording of audio tracks.
Enabling the Rec Source button on the Mix Channel device in the rack.
4. Locate the audio track and select “Stereo Input” and “ID8 1” as input source in the “Select Audio Input” drop-
down list.
All Mix Channel and Audio Track devices that have their “Rec Source” button enabled will appear in the list. In this
example, we only have the Rec Source button active on the “ID8 1” Mix Channel.
