Recording Digital Audio
It's time to record!
1. If you haven't already set up the metronome, follow the directions
in the "Setting Up the Metronome" section earlier in this tutorial
to set the metronome for a two-measure count-in.
2. Mute any tracks you don't want to hear while recording, or solo
the tracks you do want to hear.
3. The track is already armed for recording.
4. In the Transport toolbar, click Record
You'll hear two measures counted in by the metronome, then playback
and recording will begin. Go ahead and perform!
When you finish recording, click the Stop button
space bar. A new clip will appear in the Clips pane. If no new clip
appears, see "I Can't Record Any Audio" on page A-4 for some
troubleshooting hints.
