How to Record a new Audio Track?

This example shows how to record a new Audio Track, while listening to the first recording.
1. Create a new Audio Track by using the “Add Track” submenu on the Project menu.
2. Decide whether you want the new Track to be stereo or mono by using the Stereo/Mono
button in the area to the left of the Track.
3. Pull down the Devices menu and open the VST Mixer.
As you can see, a new channel strip has been added to the Mixer.
4. Use the Input pop-up menu at the top of the channel strip to make sure that the correct
audio input is selected for the new Track.
If the audio source is another than the one you first recorded, you need to check the input level
again – see page 61.
5. In the Project window, Record Enable the new Track by clicking its “R” button.
Make sure that the “R” button for the first Track is disabled – otherwise you will be recording on
both Tracks at the same time.
6. Move the Project Cursor to the desired start position.
7. Activate recording by clicking the Record button on the Transport panel.
While you are recording, the first Audio Track is played back.
8. When you are done, click the Stop button on the Transport panel.
