Recording Ensemble
Tracks
Ensemble songs can be composed of up to 16
individually recorded tracks.
A track can be built up in stages by overdubbing,
a method often used when creating a rhythm
track. For example, you can record a bass drum
first, and then overdub a snare drum, hi-hat, etc.
See "Overdubbing a Track" on page 39.
You can also auto-correct the timing of constant-
tempo notes by "quantizing," another method
often used for rhythm tracks.
See "Quantizing Notes" on page 40.
The voice and volume of each track can be altered
after recording, and tracks can be mixed, copied,
moved, transposed, and deleted.
See Chapter 8 "Editing Tracks".
To record piano parts to the Ensemble song, see
Chapter 6 "Recording L/R Songs".
