An overlapping audio region is created in real time along the track until you stop recording.
3 Stop recording by clicking the Stop button in the Transport bar (or press the Space bar).
The result is a closed take folder that contains both audio recordings on a single audio
arrange track. The longer of the two regions determines the take folder size.
When you record over multiple existing audio regions, a take folder is also created with
all regions packed inside.
Recording over an Existing Audio Take Folder
When you record over an existing take folder, the new recording is added to the take
folder and is selected for playback.
To record over an existing audio take folder
1 Set the playhead to a position where the new recording will overlap the existing take
folder.
2 Click the Record button in the Transport bar (or use the corresponding key command,
default assignment: *).
An overlapping audio region is created in real time along the track until you stop recording.
3 Stop recording by clicking the Stop button in the Transport bar (or press the Space bar).
The new audio recording is automatically added to the take folder.
The following will be taken into account:
• If the new recording starts earlier or ends later, the take folder extends to match the
size of the new recording.
• If the new recording starts later or ends earlier than the start and end points of the take
folder, a new comp is created consisting of the former take or comp supplemented by
the new recording.
When you record over multiple existing audio take folders—placed one after the other
on a track lane—the new recording is split between the take folders. Each section is
assigned as a new take in each take folder. Earlier take folders are extended in length
until they reach the start point of the ensuing take folder (if there is a gap between take
folders).
