Rehearsal Time, Part 2
In Tutorial 1, you used Pro Audio to help you rehearse a solo in one of
your bandÕs songs. Pro Audio played the backup parts of the song while
you played your solo. Now that youÕve had some time to practice, youÕd
like to record your solo with Pro Audio so you can play it and hear how
you sound.
Pro Audio lets you record two different types of data: MIDI and digital
audio. If you have a MIDI instrument connected to the MIDI In port of
your sound card or an external MIDI interface, youÕll probably want to
record your performance as MIDI. Otherwise, youÕll need to hook your
instrument, preamp, effects rack, mixer, or microphone to the
appropriate audio input of your sound card and record your performance
as digital audio. For information on how to connect your instrument to
the computer, see ÒInstallation and SetupÓ on page 1-15.
