186 Chapter 4 Audio in the Arrange Window

If several Arrange window tracks are assigned to the same Audio Object (“Audio 1”, for

example), the new audio file (Region) will be recorded to the selected track.

“Disarming” all tracks

If several tracks are record-enabled, you can instantly disable them all by Option-

clicking on any of the flashing REC buttons.

Standard Recording with Count-in

You can start recording at any point in a song by setting the Song Position Line to the

desired location. If the target audio recording tracks are correctly set, and the necessary

inputs (and audio signals) are connected and properly adjusted, just hit the Record

switch on the Transport, or press “

∗

”.

A “count-in” is heard. Signals will be recorded during this time. Depending on the

number of tracks required, Logic will pause for a short interval between the time you

press the Record button, and the start of recording.

During recording, the Recording float window opens. This displays the remaining

recording time.

Logic will automatically create a Region in the Arrange window after recording (press

Stop on the Transport to end recording), and will create an overview of the audio file.

This is a graphic file that is used to display the waveform in the Arrange window. You

can listen to the new recording in the Arrange window while the overview is created.

Record and Pause Mode

If Logic is in pause mode, you can start audio recording by clicking “Record Toggle”,

“Pause” or “Play”. Recording begins at the current song position.

Punch-in Recording

You can actually engage recording while in playback mode—“on the fly”. To do this,

start playback and press Shift-asterisk (the key command for Record Toggle) at the point

where you want to start recording. Audio recording will start immediately. Recording

can be stopped at any time, by pressing Stop in the usual way, or by pressing Shift-

asterisk again. If you use this second option, recording ceases, but the sequencer will

continue to play.

Punch on the Fly

If you click-hold the Record button in the Transport window, the Record menu opens,

allowing you to switch on “Punch on the Fly”. This can also be switched on from the

Audio menu.

Punch or drop recording is when you “punch in” to a previously recorded passage while

the tape is running, in order to fix a mistake in an otherwise good recording. You then

“punch out” of the recording, once the mistake is corrected (you’ve recorded over it).
