Apple Logic Pro 9 - Manual (Page 443)

• Multitrack recording: You can record audio to multiple tracks simultaneously. See Audio
Multitrack Recording .
• Punch recording: You can record audio at defined project positions—which is done by
setting manual or automatic punch-in and punch-out locators. See Audio Punch
Recording .
• Replace recording: You can replace an original recording, or a portion of it, with a new
recording—which is generally combined with punch recording. See Audio Replace
Recording .
Audio Take Recording
You can approach audio take recording in the following ways:
• By recording a single audio take: Creates a single audio region on the selected arrange
track.
• By recording multiple audio takes: Creates multiple audio regions over the same section
of the project, all packed into a single take folder.
• By recording additional audio takes: Creates a take folder or the addition of new
recordings to existing take folders.
To facilitate your workflow—in particular when editing audio take recordings at a later
stage—use Logic Pro’s take coloring and take marking features. See
Coloring Takes While
Recording and Marking a Good Take While Recording .
Recording a Single Audio Take
When you record a single audio take—in other words, you make a basic audio
recording—recording starts at the playhead position and ends when you click the Stop
button (or press the Space bar). The following occurs on your system, and in Logic Pro:
• An audio file is created on the hard disk.
• An audio region, which represents the entire recorded audio file, is automatically created
on the selected arrange track.
• The audio file and the audio region are added to the Audio Bin.
To record a single audio take
1 Set the playhead to the point where you want recording to start.
