Open the take folder by doing one of the following:

• Click the disclosure triangle in the top-left corner of the take folder (or use the

Un/disclose Take Folder key command).

• Double-click the take folder.

Recording Additional Audio Takes

After recording single or multiple audio takes to a single arrange track, you can continue
to record additional takes on the same track.

• You can record over an existing region, or regions.

• You can record over an existing take folder, or take folders.

Although this is not a recording function per se, you can also drag and drop other
recordings onto an existing take folder. Depending on the size of the recording, it will
be added as either a new take or a new comp, and the take folder will be resized
accordingly.

Note: Take folders are created only when a recording has been made. If you attempt to
drag a region onto another region that was originally imported (not recorded), this will
not create a take folder. You can, however, “pack” a take folder from any selected
regions—recorded or imported. For details, see

Packing Regions into a Take Folder

.

Recording over an Existing Audio Region

A take folder is automatically created when you record over an existing audio region.

To record over an existing audio region

1

Set the playhead to a position where the new recording will overlap the existing region
by a length that exceeds the count-in or pre-roll duration—which you have set in File >
Project Settings > Recording.

2

Click the Record button in the Transport bar (or use the corresponding key command,
default assignment: *).
