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.

The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
