Recording From an Audio Track With Multiple Drum Sounds

If you activate Auto Trim, the sample start and end markers are automatically set to
positions directly before the start and after the end of the audio.
EXAMPLE
Recording With an Audio Threshold and Pre/Post Record
Set Auto Trim to Off, specify an audio threshold for both the start and the stop trigger for the
recording, and activate and set up Pre/Post Record. Now, click the Record/Record Enable
button to enable recording and play a note on your instrument.
As soon as the signal exceeds the Start threshold, recording starts and when the audio level
falls below the Stop threshold, it ends.
The resulting recording contains silence before and after the audio recording. This means
that you must adjust the sample start and end markers manually.
If you activate Auto Trim, and repeat the same procedure, the sample start and end markers
are automatically moved into the pre and post record range to match the effective start and
end of the audio when the recording is finished.
Auto Trim only affects the sample start and end markers and leaves the audio file as it is,
including the pre and post-record time.
Auto Normalize
Allows you to normalize the audio of the recorded sample to the specified level.
NOTE
This operation is non-destructive and only affects the Gain parameter of the
sample.
