Lesson 2:

Working With Real Instruments

If you sing or play a musical instrument, you can connect a microphone or an electric musical

instrument to your computer and record your performances in a Real Instrument track. Each

recording appears as a region in the track. You can add effects to a Real Instrument track, and

edit Real Instrument regions in the track editor.

What You'll Need

To work with Real Instruments, you’ll need to have each of the following items on hand:

•

Enough free hard disk space to record to (stereo CD-quality recording requires about 10 MB of

disk space per minute of recording)

•

A microphone to record voices or acoustic musical instruments, or an electric musical

instrument you want to record

•

Audio cables to connect the microphone or instrument to your computer

•

Optionally, an audio interface to connect the microphone or instrument to your computer
