Chapter 10 Recording Audio in Soundtrack 161

Recording a Single Take

You record a single take by setting the playhead to the point where you want

recording to start, then clicking the Record button. Recording starts at the playhead

position, and ends when you click either the Record or Play button.

To record a single take:

1 If you want to record to an existing track, enable the track.

2 Set the playhead to the point where you want recording to start.

You can set the playhead using any of the procedures described in “Setting the

Playhead” on page 51.

3 Click the Record button in the transport controls to start recording.

As you record, the level meters in the Recording tab show the levels of the input signal

being recorded. If the input signal clips (rises above 0 dB), the peak indicator lights red.

4 To stop recording, do one of the following:

Â Click the Record button again.

Â Click the Play button.

You can punch in and punch out while recording a single take using the Record

button. For example, you can start the project playing, then punch in at the point

where you want to start recording by clicking the Record button. To punch out, click

the Record button again. When you click the Record button while recording, recording

stops, but the project continues playing. You can punch in and punch out multiple

times while the project is playing.

When you click the Play button, both recording and playback stop.

Recording Multiple Takes

You can record multiple takes in the Timeline. You can record multiple takes using the

playback region to define where each take starts and ends, or record for the duration of

the project. When you record multiple takes, the takes are “stacked” in a single clip in

the Timeline. You can audition each take, and can create composite takes by splitting

the clip and choosing the take for each split segment.
