Preparing To Record; Recording Modes - CAKEWALK PRO AUDIO User Manual

In some projects you may need a different or an even more detailed
timebase. For example, if you wanted to use eighth-note septuplets (7
eighth notes per quarter note) and represent them accurately, you would
need to have a timebase that is divisible by 7, such as 168PPQ. Pro
Audio uses the timebase you choose for a project to determine the range
of tick values in the Now time.
To Set the Timebase for a Project...
1. Choose Options-Project and click the Clock tab.
2. Choose the timebase you want from the Ticks per Quarter Note
list.
3. Click OK.
The timebase will be saved with the project file.

Preparing to Record

To prepare for recording, you need to do the following:
¥ Set the recording mode.
¥ Choose your input source(s).
¥ Arm one or more tracks for recording.
¥ Check your recording levels (audio only).
¥ Tune your instrument if necessary (audio only).
¥ Set the Now time to the point where recording should start.
¥ Start recording.
After you record, you can use the Undo command to erase the most
recently recorded material. You can use the Redo command to restore
the recording and toggle between Undo and Redo as many times as you
like.
If you are using MIDI Sync or time code sync for the clock source, Pro
Audio waits to receive external timing data before it begins recording.
For more information see Chapter 15, Synchronizing Your Gear.

Recording Modes

tracks at once, one clip is created in each track. If you record into a track
that already contains clips, you can choose one of three recording
