Loop Recording
Finally, let's record our takes:
1. Choose Transport-Record Options to display the Record Options dialog box.
2. Choose the Store Takes in Separate Tracks option to store each new take in a separate track. Each
time a new take starts, the settings from the first track will be copied to the new track.
3. Click OK.
4. Click Rewind .
5. Click Record .
SONAR loops over the designated section and records your takes to successive tracks. If you want
to erase the most recent take during loop recording, choose
Transport-Reject Loop Take .
6. To stop recording, click Stop , or press the Spacebar.
Now you can listen to each take individually by muting the other ones.
Alternatively, you could set your loop recording options to Store Takes in a Single Track and display
them all within one track. After you finish recording several takes, press the Track Layers button
on the track strip. The track will then expand to show all clips on separate layers that can be muted and
soloed indivdiually.
For more information on Track Layers, see the online help topic “ Take Management and Comping
Takes.”
Punch-In Recording
Imagine that one of your takes was close to ideal, except for one or two notes in one measure. Rather
than recording another full take, you'd prefer to keep the take but replace that measure.
Punch-in recording lets you replace a section of a track. The way it works is this: first, you set the start
and end times of the punch to the section you want to replace, and turn on punch recording. Then, you
arm the track and start recording. You can play along with the original take to get the rhythm and
feeling. However, nothing will be recorded until the Now time reaches the punch start time. During the
punch, the material already in the track will be replaced with what you record. When the punch ends,
the project will continue to play, but recording will stop.
