As You Record
Once you hit PLAY or F8 (Start) in the Audio Rec Standby window, the Audio
Rec Standby window's replaced by the Audio Rec window, which contains
meters that let you keep an eye on your levels as you record.
You can leave the window open or close it if you'd like it out of the way.
Closing the window has no effect on recording, which continues until you hit
STOP or reach the end of the song or the Rec End Point you've set.
After You Record
When you're done recording, the Fantom-G offers to assign your new sample
to the audio track you selected with the Audio Rec window's Recording
Track/Phrase parameter. Click F7 (OK) to assign the sample and add it to the
project sample list. Click F8 (CANCEL) to discard the sample.
Be sure to save your song using the WRITE button as soon as possible to
avoid losing your work. The sample you've just recorded will be saved
along with the song.
Zooming
Once you've begun adding tracks to a song, you'll likely want
to zoom in and/or out on your tracks to see what you've got.
On the Song Play and Song Edit screens are two pairs of zoom
buttons. Click a magnifying glass with a:
•
minus sign—to zoom out.
Zoom
buttons
•
plus sign—to zoom in.
Zoom in and out horizontally using these zoom buttons.
Zoom in and out vertically using these zoom buttons.
Song Utilities
While we'll be discussing editing songs in the Perfecting Songs, MIDI Tracks,
and Audio Tracks Workshop booklet, we'd like to touch on a few song-based
tools now. They're all located on the Song Play screen.
We've already discussed:
•
F3 (Phrase List)—This takes you to a list of the phrases belonging to the
current project. The screen will take on even greater importance in our
next Workshop booklet, Perfecting Songs, MIDI Tracks, and Audio Tracks.
•
F5 (Loop)—We've already discussed the Fantom-G's ability to loop a
song section or entire song during sequencing and song playback.
