Instrument Track Recording Modes - PRESONUS AudioBox Stereo Quick Start Manual

By default, the last recorded Take is selected. To select any other take, [Right]/[Control]-click
on the Audio Event to expose a list of Takes. Click on any numbered Take to select it. Takes are
edited as a single Audio Event, so sizing or splicing any Take will splice all of the Takes
contained in the Audio Event.
It is possible to splice an Audio Event that contains multiple Takes, then select a different Take
for each splice of the original Event. For example, if you recorded three Takes for a vocal verse,
you could split that Audio Event in between each vocal phrase, and then, for each phrase,
select the best of the three Takes.
5.5.2 Unpack Takes
When two or more Takes exist for an Audio Event, it is possible to unpack the individual takes
to separate Events on new Tracks, new Layers, or existing Layers. To do this, [Right]/[Control]-
click on the Event and click on Unpack Takes in the contextual menu.
Choose Unpack to Tracks to place each Take at the appropriate time on its own new Track.
Note that the settings of the originating Track are not duplicated for the new Tracks.
Choose Unpack Takes to New Layers to place each Take on its own Layer. This is usually done
for comping, discussed in detail in the Comping section of the "Editing" chapter. Choose
Unpack Takes to Existing Layers if you would like to unpack the Takes to existing Layers.
5.5.3 Set and Shift Loop
Several key commands that you may find helpful when loop recording are available in the
Keyboard Shortcuts menu and by default have no key command assigned.
Set Loop Start and Set Loop End allow you to place the left and right locators at the current
playback-cursor position. The same commands might be used when setting left and right
locators for a punch-in using Auto Punch.
Shift Loop and Shift Loop Backwards allow you to move the loop range to the next or previous
range of equal time. For instance, if you have eight bars looped, Shift Loop would move the
loop range to the next eight bars.
