236 Chapter 11 Recording Audio in Soundtrack Pro
Recording Audio in the Timeline
You record in the Timeline by enabling a track for recording, setting the playhead, then
clicking Record. You can record a single take or record multiple takes by turning on
cycling before you start recording. When you finish recording, your recorded audio
appears in a track in the Timeline. If you record multiple takes, you can audition each
take to choose which one you want to use in your project. You can also assemble
composite takes by splitting and combining your recorded takes.
Enabling a Track for Recording
Before you start recording, you enable the track you want to record to. You can record
audio only to a track, not to a bus or output. If no track is enabled for recording, a new
track is created below the existing tracks, and the take appears on the new track when
you click the Record button.
To enable a track for recording:
m Click the Record Enable button (the red circle) in the track’s header (or Mixer channel
strip).
The Recording tab becomes active, and shows the current recording settings. You can
adjust recording settings before you start recording, or between recordings.
