Tutorial 4 – Playing and recording software instruments
Adding an instrument track to your project
Adding instrument tracks to your project is easy and something you’ll find yourself doing often, so
let’s explore some of the basics. For this exercise, we'll start with a blank project.
1. On the File menu, click New .
2. Select the Normal template and click OK .
A new project opens.
3. Click Insert >Soft-Synths .
A menu lists all available software synths that are installed on your computer.
4. Click DropZone .
The Insert Soft Synth Options dialog box appears.
5. Select the following options:
•
Simple Instrument Track
• Synth Property Page
• Recall Assignable Controls
• Ask This Every Time
A new track is inserted in your project. This track is a combination of the two types of tracks you
have learned about in the previous tutorials. It holds MIDI data and accepts a MIDI input, but it
outputs the sound of the synth, like an audio track would. The DropZone window may also open.
If not, you can open it manually by double-clicking on the track icon.
A. Track header icon B. Track icon
Note: You can always launch a given software instrument's window by double-clicking its track
icon.
