Starting To Record; Basic Operation - Emagic Logic fun User Manual

Chapter 8
Audio Basics
With the audio object's fader on the mixer you can control the
level of the monitored signal. The fader always controls the
playback level, and not the recording level.
You have to set the recording levels externally, for example on
the sub group fader of your mixer, or at the original sound
source.

Starting to Record

Start recording using the record button in the transport window,
or by using the appropriate keyboard command (*).
You will notice during the recording, how the waveform is
drawn in real time in the Arrange window.
Keep an eye on the level meter in the audio objects. In the
event that the clip indicator (top, red LED) lights up, you will
need to record again, using a lower level. So you do not have to
watch the level meter constantly; the overload indicator
remains lit until you click on it.
Please do not forget to disarm the track(s) after you are done
recording. Do this by clicking on the red R button which will
then unlight. If you do not first disarm, you will not be able to
listen to the audio recorded on this track.

Basic Operation

You can work with the recorded regions in the Arrange window
almost as you would MIDI-sequences:
•
they can be moved around by click-holding and dragging
them
•
they can be edited with the editing tools
•
they can be copied in exactly the same way as MIDI
sequences
•
delay and loop parameters are available in the sequence
parameter box.
