Recording Audio in the Mixer
You can record audio in the Mixer in a similar way to recording audio in the Timeline.
You can record a single take or record multiple takes. If you want to record multiple
takes using a playback region, you must set the playback region in the Timeline before
you start recording in the Mixer.
To record audio in the Mixer, you follow the procedures described in “ Recording Audio
in the Timeline ” on page 236, with the following differences:
 To enable a track for recording in the Mixer, click the Record Enable button (the red
circle) in the track’s channel strip.
 In the Mixer, you can set the playhead using the transport controls or the Playhead
Position value slider. Because the playhead is not visible in the Mixer, you cannot set
it by clicking or dragging.
Recording Audio in the Waveform Editor
You can record audio to an audio file project in the Waveform Editor. When you record
audio in the Waveform Editor, you replace (overwrite) any existing audio in the audio
file or selection you record to.
You can select part of the file in the Waveform Editor to record to. When you record to a
selection, recording starts at the beginning of the selection and ends at the end of the
selection. The part of the file after the end of the selection is unchanged.
If no part of the file is selected, recording starts at the playhead position, and lasts until
you stop recording. If your recording extends past the end of the audio file, the file is
lengthened to include the recording.
To record audio in the Waveform Editor:
1 Select the part of the project you want to record to.
If no part of the audio file is selected, recording starts at the current playhead position
and proceeds until you stop recording.
2 Click the Record button in the transport controls.
