CHAPTER 15. RECORDING NEW CLIPS
201
1. Recording commences when the Control Bar's Record button is activated and
the Play button is pressed.
2. Recording creates new clips in all tracks that have their Arm button on.
3. When the Overdub switch is on, the new clips contain a mix of the signal already
in the track and the new input signal. The Overdub option only applies to MIDI
tracks.
4. To prevent recording prior to a punch-in point, activate the Punch-In switch. This
is useful for protecting the parts of a track that you do not want to record over
and allows you to set up a pre-roll or warm-up time. The punch-in point is
identical to the Arrangement Loop's start position.
5. Likewise, to prevent recording after the punch-out point, activate the Punch-Out
switch. The punch-out point is identical to the Arrangement Loop's end position.
6. When you are recording into the
Arrangement Loop
, Live retains the audio
recorded during each pass.
You can later unroll a loop recording, either by repeatedly using the Edit menu's Undo
command or graphically in the Clip View: After loop recording, double-click on the new clip.
In the Clip View's Sample Display, you can see a long sample containing all audio recorded
during the loop-recording process. The Clip View's
loop brace
de nes the audio taken in
the last pass; moving the markers left lets you audition the audio from previous passes.
