Recording
Options and Settings
Further configuration options for MIDI and audio clicks are available in the Click
Outputs section:
Lock and Unlock Record
During recording it can happen that you accidentally deactivate the record mode, e. g.
by pressing [Space]. In order to prevent this, you can set up a key command for this in
the Key Commands dialog. If you use the Lock Record key command, the Record
button will turn gray and the record mode is locked until you use the Unlock Record
key command or enter Stop mode.
• If Lock Record is activated and you want to enter Stop mode (by clicking Stop or
pressing [Space]), you will see a dialog in which you need to confirm that you want
to stop recording. You can also use the Unlock Record key command first and
then enter Stop mode as usual.
• By default, no key commands are assigned to these functions. In the Key
Commands dialog, you will find the corresponding key command entries in the
Transport category (see the chapter
“Key commands” on page 711 for more
information on how to set up key commands).
Ö These key commands are especially useful when combined with other commands
(e.
g. with Record/Stop) using the macro functions. That way you will receive powerful
macros that can greatly enhance your workflow.
Ö Note that an automatic punch-out at the right locator position that you may have set
on the transport panel, will be ignored in Lock Record mode.
Record Time Max display
The Record Time Max display lets you see how much time you have left for recording.
The available time depends on the current setup, for example, on the amount of tracks
that are record-enabled, your project setup (e.
g. the sample rate), and the amount of
hard disk space available. You can show and hide the display using the “Record Time
Max” option on the Devices menu.
Ö The remaining record time is also shown in the status line above the track list.
Option Description

For the metronome click you can also select a VST instrument
previously set up in the VST Instruments window.

first beat in a bar).

beats).
Activate Audio
Click

hardware. You can set the level of the click with the slider.
Beeps When this is selected, the audio clicks will be beeps generated by
the program. Adjust the pitch and level of the beeps for the
“Hi”
(first) beat and “Lo” (other) beats using the sliders below.
Sounds When this is selected, you can click in the “Sound” fields below to
load any audio files for the “Hi” and “Lo” metronome sounds. The
sliders set the level of the click.

If you are storing your tracks on different drives (by using individual record folders), the
time display refers to the medium with the least storage space available.
