By following the instructions above, you were
able to record the first part of a multi-track sequence.
Now it's time to record Parts 2, 3 and 4.
Go through the procedure above again; once for
Part 2, once for Part 3 and once for Part 4, using the
following MIDI channels, tracks, and instruments:
For instance, when recording Part 2, you will
select MIDI channel 2 (instead of using MIDI
Channel I, as before), assign the "French Horn" voice
to Part 2 (instead of Trumpet on Part 1) and use Track
2 (instead of Track
I).
The music for each of these parts is shown at
right. Once this has been accomplished, go on to the
next section and learn how to merge two tracks
together.
Let's suppose that we need to add a flute descant
to what's been recorded. However, all four tracks are
currently in use as listed above. (The R track is for
rhythm parts, so it should not be used for the descant).
If we were to record the flute part on one of the four
tracks listed above, we would record over an existing
part.
