Loop Recording on Audio Tracks

It can be very useful to loop a specific section while recording in order to capture multiple
performances or takes of the same musical passage. In Studio One, this is called "Loop
Recording."
Follow these steps to accomplish Loop Recording:
• Set the Left and Right Locators in the Timeline Ruler at the beginning and end,
respectively, of the area in which you wish to record.
• Click on the Loop button in the transport or press [/NumPad] on the keyboard to
engage Looping.
• Activate recording manually or via Pre-Roll or Auto Punch.
• When the playback cursor reaches the Right Locator position, it will loop back to the
Left Locator Position.
• Recording will continue until you manually stop it by pressing [Space Bar] on the
keyboard or clicking Stop in the Transport.
When Loop Recording with Audio Tracks, multiple Takes will be created. These Takes
represent each recorded pass over the looped region. If Record Takes to Layers is engaged in
the Record panel, opened from the View menu or with [Shift]+[Alt]+[R] on the keyboard, the
takes will automatically be placed in separate layers which are expanded when recording is
stopped. Refer to the Comping section of the "Editing" chapter of this manual for more
information.
5.5.1 Selecting Takes of an Audio Event
