Apple Logic Express 9 - Manual (Page 451)

5 Stop recording by clicking the Stop button in the Transport bar (or press the Space bar).
When you are cycle recording in Replace mode, existing regions (or portions of them)
are deleted only during the first cycle pass—from the punch-in point to either the
punch-out point or the end of the cycle. When the second cycle pass begins, recording
continues, but no further regions (or portions of them) are deleted. If you want to replace
the end of an existing region, you don’t need to stop recording before the second cycle
pass begins—the start of the existing region remains intact.
When you are recording over an existing take folder in Replace mode, you can have either
of the following outcomes:
• If a comp is active: Recording takes place on a newly created take lane and the comp
is updated with the newly recorded material.
• If a take is active: Recording takes places in the active take lane, replacing any previously
existing take regions. Any comps that reference this take will continue to do so, using
the newly recorded material.
Deleting Audio Recordings
You can delete an audio region with files recorded in the current session, and you can
delete an audio region with files that are imported from an earlier session.
To delete an audio region that you have recorded since opening the project
µ
Select the audio region, and press the Delete key.
A dialog asks if you also want to erase the corresponding audio file. This saves hard drive
space used by bad takes and unwanted recordings.
To delete an audio recording that was made before the current session
µ
Select the audio region, and press the Delete key.
This will remove only the audio region from the arrangement, not the audio file (from
the Audio Bin). No dialog appears. This prevents you from accidentally deleting recordings
that may be used in other projects. If you actually want to delete the corresponding audio
file, you can do so by choosing Audio File > Delete File(s) in the Audio Bin. The deleted
audio files remain in the Trash until emptied.
Getting to Know MIDI Recording
You have the following possibilities to choose from when recording MIDI material:
• Take recording: You can record a single MIDI take, or you can record multiple MIDI takes
over the same section of the project. See MIDI Take Recording
• Multitrack recording: You can record MIDI to multiple tracks simultaneously. See MIDI
Multitrack Recording .
