• Double-click the take folder.
Recording Additional MIDI Takes
After recording single or multiple MIDI takes to an 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.
Note: You need to choose File > Project Settings > Recording, then open the Overlapping
Recordings pop-up menu and choose “Create take folders.”
Recording over Existing MIDI Regions
A take folder is automatically created when you record over an existing MIDI region.
To record over an existing MIDI 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 (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: *).
An overlapping MIDI 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 MIDI recordings on a single arrange
track. The longer of the two regions determines the take folder size.
Recording over multiple existing MIDI regions will merge the regions—per track—before
creating the take folder. All existing MIDI regions will appear as the first take, and new
recordings will appear as the second take, third take, and so on.
Recording over Existing MIDI Take Folders
Recording over an existing MIDI take folder will add a MIDI take to it.
Recording over multiple existing MIDI take folders will flatten them individually, and
merge them per track, before creating a new take folder that spans the combined length
of all take folders. All material that existed prior to recording will appear as the first take,
with subsequent recordings appearing as the second take, third take, and so on.
Note: All takes that were not playing in the take folders (which existed prior to recording)
are lost unless you choose Edit > Undo right away.
