RadioSpot.

The project is saved under the new name. From now on, you can click
the Save button to save your work.

Adding the Announcer

Your next task is to record the announcer track. The procedure is similar
to the one we used in the last tutorial, but you don't need to set the
sampling rate (because it is already set) and you don't need to turn on
the metronome (the music will give you timing cues for the beginning
and ending of the spot).
To record the announcer track, you'll need a microphone. For help with
connecting a microphone to your computer, see ÒTo Connect a
Microphone to Your ComputerÉÓ on page 1-16.
