Recording an Instrument Part

Earlier on, you used the Library to load an instrument into the Inst 4 track, and chose a setting.

To record an instrument region:

1Click the Inst 4 track name in the track list. The name shown in the track list is that of the active channel strip setting.

ÂSelecting an instrument track automatically prepares it for recording—but you must send a live MIDI event (as examples: play a note on your keyboard, move the modulation wheel, press the sustain pedal) to switch software instruments into live mode. Once in live mode (or pressing the record button), the software instrument is automatically armed for recording.

ÂSelecting an external MIDI track automatically arms it for recording.

2Feel free to choose another sound (setting), by activating the Library in the Media area.

3Click the Record button on the Transport, or press the * key on the numeric keypad.

You will hear a one bar count-in, and a constant metronome click. If not, revisit “To alter the metronome settings:” on page 27. Most people find it easier to make a musical instrument recording to a click.

4Play your keyboard.

5Click the Stop button on the Transport once you’re done.

A (selected) MIDI region appears on the instrument track lane.

If you’re happy with your recording, click the Play button (Enter on the numeric keypad or the Space bar) to hear it, and the other regions, play back.

If your part is close, but you messed up a note or two, you can edit them—rather than redoing the whole thing. This is covered in “Editing and Creating Events” on page 50.

If the timing of your recording isn’t as you’d like it to be, you can quantize the region.
