Recording each part separately
Next, we will record the music data for each Part onto separate tracks. We will start recording the song from the measure following the one in which the Performance settings were recorded.
We will record tracks in the order of drums → bass → accompaniment → melody, while listening to the tracks that were recorded on previous passes.
For example, assign Tones to each Part as shown below.
Drums: | Part 10 |
Bass: | Part 9 |
Accompaniment: | Part 6 |
Melody: | Part 3 |
*Tone changes, and the actions of the Pitch Bend lever, Modulation lever, knobs, and other controls are also recorded.
*It is not necessary to record the song at the tempo at which it is to be played back. You may record at a tempo that is comfortable for you.
