Loop Recording
When recording a vocal or an instrumental section, you might want to
record several different takes so that you can choose the one you like
best. You might even want to record several takes to double a part or
merge the best parts of each.
Normally, to record each take you would have to arm a track, start
recording, perform the take, and then stop recording. You can record
multiple takes more easily using a feature called loop recording. Loop
recording lets you start recording and record as many takes as you like,
all in a single step.
Pro Audio then loops between the start and end time, allowing you to
record one take on each pass. Pro Audio creates a clip for each take. You
have three choices for where these clips are stored:
¥ All clips can be recorded in Sound on Sound mode and stored in a
single track, where they are stacked on top of one another.
¥ All clip can be recorded in Overwrite mode in a single track, where
each take overwrites the previous one.
¥ Each clip can be recorded to a different track. Pro Audio
automatically places each take into a new, empty track. No existing
tracks are changed in any way.
When you stack takes, using the Sound on Sound record mode, you
hear all the previous takes as you record each new take. When you store
takes in different tracks, each take is automatically muted as you record
the next one. You choose the option you want from the Record Options
dialog box.
When you Þnish recording, the Edit-Undo command erases all your
takes in a single step.

recording.
Pro Audio displays a clip containing the new material in the Track
window. To listen to the new material, set the Now time to the start of
the clip and press the space bar or click . If you’re not happy with
the recording, use Undo to erase the new material.
If you do not see a new clip in the Track window, you may have a
problem with audio input. See
