Recording Audio Regions

Recording Audio Regions

The following assumes you have correctly connected a microphone, guitar, or some other audio source that you can record. For more information on doing this, see the Logic user manual.

To make a standard audio recording:

1Turn off Cycle mode, if enabled.

2Click the Record Enable button on the Audio 2 track (or another region-free audio track, if you added a few Apple Loops or other files earlier). This arms the track.

If you sing into your microphone or play your guitar, you should hear it, and see the level meters of the Arrange channel strip moving.

Click to enable input monitoring

∏Tip: You can activate the Input Monitoring button at any time on audio tracks (and can generally leave it enabled). This allows you to hear incoming audio, even when the track is not armed, which is useful for setting audio levels or practicing parts before committing to recording.

3Click the Record button on the Transport (or use the Record key command,

default: *—on the numeric keypad) to start recording on the selected track—following a count-in.

4Play or sing.

5When you are finished, click Stop on the Transport (or press the 0 key on the numeric keypad, or the Space bar) to end recording.

This recording will appear as an audio region (on the Audio 2 track) in the Arrange area.
